I've had plenty of time
to think about it.

1:04:02
And what I've come up with
is really simple.

1:04:07
I came to this
on my own terms.

1:04:11
You know, I didn't just
heed what I was taught:

1:04:13
Men and women should be
together, it's the natural way,

1:04:17
that kind of thing.
1:04:19
I'm not with you because of
what family, society, life...

1:04:24
tried to in still in me
from day one.

1:04:29
The way the world is,
1:04:32
how seldom it is that you meet
that one person who...

1:04:37
just gets you.
1:04:39
It's so rare.
1:04:42
My parents didn't
really have it.

1:04:45
There were no examples set for me in
the world of male-female relationships.

1:04:51
And to cut one self off
from finding that person--

1:04:55
to immediately halve your options
by eliminating the possibility...

1:04:59
of finding that one person
within your own gender--

1:05:03
that just seemed stupid
to me.

1:05:05
So I didn't.
1:05:08
But then you came along.
1:05:11
You, the one least likely.
I mean, you were a guy.

1:05:15
Still am.
1:05:18
And while I was falling for you
I put a ceiling on that,

1:05:23
because you were a guy.
1:05:26
Until I remembered why I opened the door
to women in the first place:

1:05:31
To not limit the likelihood
of finding that one person who'd...

1:05:35
complement me so completely.
1:05:42
So, here we are.
1:05:45
I was thorough
when I looked for you.

1:05:49
And I feel justified
lying in your arms...

1:05:53
'cause I got here
on my own terms,

1:05:57
and I have no question there was
someplace I didn't look.
