Do you still love me?
Do you personally know of any gay couple who has lived together for more than 5 years? I bet that there are really VERY few of those long-standing gay live-in relationships. (Yes, 5 years in the gay world is FOREVER.) These days those cases are the exception. And when you find one, it’s such an inspiration. Wouldn’t it be interesting to evesdrop on one such couple? Jase and his partner “N” have been together the past 6 years. Then one night, as Jase is going through his nightly beauty regimen, busily moisturizing, “N” blurts out, “Do you still love me?” Read on to find out Jase’s lovely, lovely response.
…if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.
Yes, this is an excerpt from Pablo Neruda’s If You Forget Me. And what a wonderful, romantic poem. I’m melting now.

Hi Migs,
Ohhh yeah, I know a lot of gay couple here in Melbourne who have been living together for more than five years. We have a circle of gay friends and their partners who bought their houses together and even pondering on adopting children.
It is true, some of the gay guys are meant to be happily monogamous. Most of the ones I know are not!
