I barely knew my wife when we first met when we were kids. I then met her again when we were in our teens and when I saw her then I knew she was someone special. It's the only time I have ever felt that way in my entire life. We didn't even date or do anything but something inside me just knew it was right. Five years went by before we saw each other again. After that long hiatus, she came to visit again. However, this time we moved in together and a couple months after that we got married. It's been almost 5 years since.
To this day when I think why I love her so much or even why there was initial attraction for me I am dumbfounded and can't even conjure up a simple explanation. Our love just is. Her presence in my life is like the air we breathe. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad but lord knows I need it simply to live.
Just my 2 cents.
