As time goes by, familiarity steps in and begins
to gnaw at our initial joy and happiness of getting
to know each other and having all those firsts...
a walk on the beach, a swim in the sea, sitting
on the sand and admiring sunset together, taking
these beautiful pics and reflecting on our first meeting.
How come we have hit it off so soon, without much
waiting and just doing. So naturally, as if we had known
each other for a very long time. Yes, we knew each
other but only fleetingly on the dance floor and a picnic.
But how good has it been to have found each other
and companionship. Friendship is also developing
as love and appreciation of who we are takes shape
and matures with each passing day. Yet we live our
lives individually and pursue our own interests and likes.
We are also committed to our families and enjoy those
periods apart when each continues our own tasks
and obligations. Yes there are also our hobbies
and personal sport choices. Not forgetting our quiet
times and as the months ahead will unfold it'll be so
much easier to say "ciao, I'll see you in a couple
of weeks!" As if we have so much time in our hands
that we can squander easily. We must remain alert
and willing to keep this togetherness intact. How we
are going to do this, I don't really know. Just thinking
of you is not enough... but as time goes by even this
can help our friendship to grow. For we have established
a strong bond of love and mutual respect. We also
understand that we must do what we individually have
to do. However we do know that when we get the chance
to spend a few hours together... this is special. A very
enjoyable time is assured unless our phones cut off,
we miss the appointed place for a meeting and all other
possible eventualities! But we know that even these
negatives cannot stop our desire to be with each other.
To enjoy our smiles, chats and banter as we sip on
a glass of something or enjoy our meals together
at a picnic or indoors! Love it!
