if marriage means to wait around forever to be taken for granted, then count me out. my ideas of romance and love have somewhat recently been reevaluated. all because of friendly friends and being able to open myself up, truly, to at least one person. it helps when that person already knows what's in there, too. i have no illusions this time, but i am glad we are at where we are at, it's like a part of me is alive again and i believe the feeling is mutual. it's been a while.
