It's amazing how love is.

One minute you're perfectly happy living life as a swinging single, the next you find you just can't spend a moment without her.

From being totally at one with yourself, looking out for your selfish wants, to planning a life together with someone else cos it's so natural and seems bigger than thinkin just about yourself. How you put someone's feelings and concerns before yours, cos it feels right and makes you feel happy.

Intense in its passion, consuming in its attention, overwhelming in its power. I love her so much it scares me and reassures me at the same time.

But she has got a point.

Perhaps I should look out for myself too, and get centred in me again. I love surprises, especially from her, but it's detrimental to keep hoping all the time. I love time with her, but it's desperate to keep hoping she'd want to spend every moment with me. I had a life before I found this wonderful drug that is us (and how wonderful it is!) and she definitely does. And being too thoughtful certainly bit me in the ass. So I gotta chill and stop pre-empting, and have faith that she wants me and thinks about what I want too.

Cos the most important thing to remember is this is not a sprint. It's a marathon. And if there's one thing I've learnt about relationships, it's temperance.

Gotta have balance. Between you. And within you.

Only then will you last the distance.

Helps that we're marathon runners I guess. Hehe.
