Your universe. Does it revolve around a certain someone?

I met her through a mutual friend. I wish I could say that it was a love at the first sight. I wish I could write here that I knew it the first time I saw her that she was meant to be The One. That would be perfect, no? But, it wasn't so. She was beautiful, she definately is. But not the kind of stunning eye cacthing sensous beauty. The quiet type. The shy, plain, sweet, glowing beauty. The only thing that is not shy in her face is that pair of sparkling, watery, hazel grey eyes. They were so radient you would want so desperetly to know what she is seeing throuh it. There wasn't any spark between us that day. Just a couple of people trying to be polite to each other. Thus, we shared a few awkward pleasentaries, talked about the weather and a few other things. She was an avid reader. She talked about books passionately. Out of politeness, I asked her phone number and promised to call. I didn't. Not for a few days atleast. Then one day, out of the blue, I thought about her. For some reasons unknown, I longed to meet her. Have a conversation with her. To dive deep into her eyes. I gave her a call. She was as pleasent as the other day. We arranged to have a dinner. We had dinner, went for the obligatory movie. I drove her to her house. But we stayed in my car and talked. We talked for the whole night. She gave me her copy of Carl Sagan's Cosmos. I drove back home the next day, knowing that she is the one. From that day, my univese revolved around her. Three years passed. My universe still revolves around her. I still catch myself organizing my days to fit not only mine, but her schedule. I need a haircut but I have to wait until friday cause she would be busy all day weekdays... What about you guys, does your universe revolve around certain someone?

wow that was indeed a love story worth reminiscing! I couldn't just hope but happiness and a stupendous stronger relationship for the both of you:) I have been a hopeless romantic- a starry-eyed, mushy, blubbering, wistful, head-in-the-clouds romantic! I'm a huge fan of love notes, poems and serenades. A sight of a dozen white roses makes me grin even if the flowers are for someone else.. But very unfortunate to say just a couple of weeks ago, i had broke up with my almost 2 year boyfriend! But my universe wasn't really revolving around him yet i love him so dearly! I had been pre-occupied with loads of important matters to attend to with regards my studies. I'm just really amazed from your very own love story, it touched and moved me.. Though, the break up was really a tough journey for me, I'm still very optimistic to find that "meant to be the one" for me, I'm still young and i won't cease from being romantic! LOVE will always give me thousands of reasons to keep going! I'm really inspired with your story:)

Although I won't call my self a romantic, it is always refreshing to find that "romanticism" is not being rediculed but cherished upon and being proud of :) I am very sorry for your brak up. But as you said it yourself, don't give up finding for "The One". Best of wishes for you.

Beautiful story, and may you always feel as you do now. I have been there before, but my choices were unfortunate and did not last as I could have wished, but between the two it carried me through 27 years. And I have three lovely children to show for my efforts. :} I have always felt that you must develop a sound friendship before you can be lovers, and always keep communicating. Good luck to you.

Lovely story, may you always know happiness together! I adore my hubby but my world doesn't revolve around him or anyone else for that matter but doing little things, taking him into consideration, etc. is an integral part of our relationship and the moment it becomes a drag then I would back out. But it hasn't become a drag remarkably after 15 years and perhaps the main element is our close friendship, we are first and foremost friends.

Thanks for the wishes Tisha. Wow! 15 years. Being in a relationship for that long is remarkable indeed. :) And I agree with you, to sustain romantic relationship, you have to cherish your significant other as a friend.
