I and Love and You

Love....it is a funny thing that happens to us. Something that many of us strive to find. While others may have stumbled upon it unexpectedly. It is the start to new and uncertain feelings. The adventure of coming to know someone on a different level from that of a friend.

The sweaty palms or thumping of the heart during early courtship. The calmness of the companionship from years together. The excitement of learning the quirks that make him who he is. The ability to be able to order for her at a favorite restaurant years later. The early dreams of life together...the peacefulness of mature love years later.

Yes, this love thing, is a funny thing that happens to us. And for some, they are lucky and it is a love that lasts forever. Growing up together and continuing to love who she became. Understanding why he is the way he is.  A bond between two that is too never be broke.

Then there are those who sadly...overtime...drift apart. Like strangers all over again. Too many possibilities of what could have went wrong. Leading one of the partners to awake one day with "three words that became hard to say...I and Love and You".
