I was just kinda thinking about my current relationship and my last major one.
My last major one lasted almost a year. Literally I was broken up with a month before the anniversary.
The thing is, the relationship felt so long. Probably because it was filled with worry and hurt and longing. I loved my last boyfriend, don't get me wrong, but the distance wasn't good for us, and to I guess it was better that we be only long distance friends, though it hurt like hell to go through.
Now in my current relationship we've been together for about half a year now. I wish I could find the exact date so that I could be sure, but I'm fairly certain it has been about six months, given that the whole Christmas in July crap was going on around that time.
The thing is, it still feels new. I still have all the silly, giddy feelings as I did when I first started getting feelings for him, and they are definitely as strong if not stronger. At the same time though, I at least feel that most of the early dating awkwardness has gone away.
Two different relationships, both alike in the fact that they have lasted a while and I love(d) my partner, but yet so different in how I feel.
My boo makes me feel happy, secure, and loved, and I guess I just wanted to say how happy I am that I've gotten this.
Love that man. <3
