English Original
I met my soulmate at the tender age of seventeen. He was clearly attracted to me and thrilled by our encounter. He asked where I lived and understood the directions perfectly, as we were from the same hometown. He said, "I'll meet you there at midnight," and he was on time.
When he arrived, I was sitting on my car hood, filled with anxious anticipation. He approached with a handsome smile and bright eyes, took my hand, and said, "Let's walk." I slid off the hood and walked with him to my parents' driveway.
Hand in hand, as we turned into the driveway, he stopped me and stood facing me. Smiling, he asked, "Are you seeing anybody?" I replied, "No." He looked at me quizzically and said, "Yes, you are. You're seeing me!" I made him go home around 3 a.m. Though he protested, he left but returned later that morning around nine.
The day flew by, and before I knew it, I was at a basketball court at midnight, watching him shoot hoops with friends. Every time someone made a basket, he would come over and kiss me. Realizing how into me he was, I pulled him from the game to sit with me at a nearby picnic table—reasonably private.
He said, "I have something to tell you. I have a one-month-old daughter." I asked, "Do you still have ties with the mother?" He explained they had been separated throughout the pregnancy and that he was sent away when he tried to visit the hospital after she was born.
I then said, "I have something to tell you, too." He sat back as if to say, "Bring it on." I shared, "I'm five months pregnant with my ex-boyfriend's baby." Almost immediately, he replied calmly yet seriously, "I'll be there."
And he was. Our baby was born a few months later, and he loved this child completely. We also loved each other completely—so completely that we had another baby every three years. It's been ten and a half years now, and we still want to spend eternity together. Our family of six fills our home because this man filled my heart. I pray that everyone may experience this kind of love.

我在十七岁的青涩年华遇到了我的灵魂伴侣。他显然被我吸引,对我们的相遇感到兴奋不已。他询问我的住址,因为来自同一个家乡,他完全明白怎么走。他说:“午夜我会在那里见你。”他准时赴约了。
当他到达时,我正坐在汽车引擎盖上,心中充满焦虑与期待。他带着英俊的笑容和明亮的眼睛走近,握住我的手说:“我们走走吧。”我从引擎盖上滑下来,和他一起走向我父母家的车道。
我们手牵手转入车道时,他停下脚步,面对着我站着。他微笑着问:“你在和别人交往吗?”我回答:“没有。”他带着疑问的神情看着我说:“不,你有。你正在和我交往!”凌晨三点左右,我让他回家。尽管他抗议,但还是离开了,不过那天早上九点左右他又回来了。
时光飞逝,不知不觉已是午夜,我在一个篮球场看他和朋友投篮。每次有人投进一球,他都会走过来吻我。我意识到他非常喜欢我,于是把他从比赛中拉出来,和我一起坐在附近一张野餐桌旁——一个相对私密的地方。
他说:“我有件事要告诉你。我有一个刚满一个月的女儿。”我问:“你和孩子母亲还有联系吗?”他解释说,他们在怀孕期间就已经分开,并且孩子出生后不久,他试图去医院探望时被赶走了。
我接着说:“我也有件事要告诉你。”他坐定,仿佛在说:“说吧。”我坦白道:“我怀了我前男友的孩子,已经五个月了。”话音刚落,他平静而严肃地回答道:“我会在你身边。”
他确实做到了。几个月后,我们的孩子出生了,他全心全意地爱着这个孩子。我们也深爱着彼此,爱得如此之深,以至于每三年我们就迎来一个新生命。如今十年半过去了,我们依然渴望共度永恒。我们六口之家让屋子充满欢声笑语,因为这个男人填满了我的心。我祈祷所有人都能体验到这样的爱。
