Sometimes It Just Works

It's a strange thing, life. Just when you least expect it, something happens to shake up the monotony. Things have been pretty hectic for me. I haven't had the time or inclination to date. I've been perfectly content to work...and hang out with Kirk the rest of the time. We haven't been together in years. We haven't even really been thinking of each other in that way. We'd come to the conclusion a while back that although we love each other, we're not "in love" with each other....at least not anymore. And yet...lately, there's been a shift.

We spend all our time together and love doing so. Sex has never been the issue with us. In fact, there really WASN'T a real issue. I guess the old addage is true..."marriage takes falling in love over and over again with the same person." I used to believe in that statement in theory. Now I think I really get it.There's no one else I've even been mildly inclined to spend my life with. And we've been living together either as a couple or as best friends now for about 15 years! The time just snuck up on me...I'd never even thought about it until lately. Heck, if you ask my nearest and dearest, they'd say that anyone who could live with me that long and still think I'm pretty cool is pretty amazing...not to mention patient.

So now it comes to this. We've been talking about our lives lately. And suddenly I feel like I've come full circle. We're seriously talking about marriage. I know. Shocker. Me. Marriage. Who'd've thunk it?
