Our Love

We were two very different people.  We had very different interests.  However, our values and beliefs were similar and that was an important common ground.  It took effort, but we made it work.  There was an enormous amount of love and a spark that made each of us light up for the other.  I knew that  he wasn't perfect, but I thought that he was absolutely amazing.  He was extremely intelligent, witty, kind, generous, hard working, and nurturing.  Those feelings stood strong for so many years of our lives together.  We looked at other people's relationships (both positive and negative) and tried to learn from them. We didn't want our relationship to get lost in the ho-hum of everyday life.  We didn't want to become stagnant.  We wanted amazing and we knew it was possible because we had felt what it was like to be amazed by one another.  We wanted to make each other happy and we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.
