Expect the unexpected

Given that I haven't been in a monogamous relationship in half a decade, imagine my surprise to find myself in the semblance of one.  It is truly a case of "it just happened" and one I'm finding most enjoyable.  We've known each other for almost 3 years and have been best friends for the better part of 2 of them.  It was a naturally forming friendship were we went from topical banter to deep and insightful conversation, where a deep level of confidence is established.  We have like personalities in some ways and are polar opposites in others, but somehow we seem to compliment each other pretty well and it works. 

It's pretty interesting how we seamlessly transitioned from being 'just friends' to this 'untitled exclusivity'.  We talk openly and honestly about what has happened and where we are emotionally as he's currently separated and dealing with very raw and nebulous emotions, where I'm more secure emotionally, but a little gun shy about allowing someone this close to me.  In truth, I'm okay with it all.  I'm enjoying the feelings he erupts and the confidence I feel with him.  He finds a level of peace and security with me that allows him to work with himself and through the ever-changing moods he sometimes finds himself in, but as I said; we seem to work.

While I saw none of it coming, I'm happy to be on this road as the journey is refreshing and insightful in many ways.  Our prior friendship served as a great foundation for us to being where we are now and I can appreciate something; my lover being my best friend; as something I haven't done in over a decade.  I haven't a clue where the final destination will take us and it would be nice to be put a title on us, but there's no need to fix what isn't broken, so it'll continue in the same fashion it currently exists; free-flowing. 

I've heard the term "expect the unexpected" many times in my life and it has happened in other ways in my life, but having it occur this way is by far the best to date.

Open your hearts/minds; expect the unexpected!

What I like about you

You know all about me and like me anyway.  You accept my good with my bad and don't hesitate to call me on my bullshit.  You promote my good traits and inspire me to be a better person.  When I'm feeling down, you're there to pick me up with a warm hug, comforting words, or even a firm word to stop me feeling sorry for myself.  We share anything and everything with each other knowing the confidence shared will never be broken; providing a mutual safe haven in which to dwell.  You don't judge me; instead show me ways I can work through my mess.  I know I'm important to you not by what you say, but what you do; often without a murmur or second thought.  And even on the times when we're a little more than just friends, you treat me with even more of the love, trust, respect of what was have as our foundation.  I never have to to worry about crossing the line as it never gets blurred.  Together we're a great team and we cheer each other on from the sidelines and when one of use has to be captain, there's never an issue of pride.  You're my best friend, my confidante, my occasional lover, and someone with whom I will always love.  You've made an amazing impact on my life and have seen me through some of my darkest days to my most joyous moments and for all of these things I love you.  My world is a better place for having you in it.

You know who you are! Muah!

Stay blessed!
