Nine years ago to this day, hawkeye and I were hand­fas­ted in a beau­ti­ful cere­mony in the park near our house in Angel St, New­town in Sydney.

We parted a mere three years later but agreed to keep the ties knot­ted and wear each others’ rings until our three times three years had passed.

Tonight I unknot­ted those ropes from each other and we spoke words to each other undo­ing our fasting.

Thanks, David, for a won­der­ful rela­tion­ship (and what remains the best break-up ever). Here’s to the next stage of our friendship.
