When friends become lovers

Tweet

Never in a million years did I think that at the age of thirty four(34) I would find unexpected love with my friend of sixteen (16) years. Truth be told,if someone were to tell me that he and I would be together right now 2 years ago I would've laughed uncontrollably in their faces,and have them sent to the Pschye ward,but you never know where life would lead you. Sixteen (16) years is a long time to know someone,much more being friends with someone, but my beau and I met each other all those years ago working in a supermarket. It was my very first job out of Secondary School and during the midst of it all he enters my life. He was a wrapper at said grocery,and for the two weeks I was employed there, he proved to be a really great friend. He was and always has been a way better friend to me than I was/am to him, and that encompasses the length of time we've known each other. He's intelligent, dare I say a genius even, great looking, loves GOD,diligent, never faltering, always strives to keep his word, a gentleman, basically if you get this guy as a friend it's advisable to hold onto him for dear life, cause I've never met anyone like him and he truly exemplifies what it means to be a long standing friend. When my little twenty seven year old (27) sister died unexpectedly 2 years ago February 25th, I saw a side of him that made my heart flutter, and oh how I fought it when I realised I was falling for him, but she predicted it would happen before her death, to which I responded "not a chance in hell", lol. To make a long story short, we've some adjustments and transitions to make as we're both coming to terms with us mobilising from friends to boyfriend and girlfriend (hate those terms, but that's what we are),but I've never been happier, and I'm just so glad that I took a chance with love, and that love took a chance with me
