Somewhere along the way, they fell in love...

A friend had said to me that when she first met her husband, she didn't find him "attractive". He was nice. It was around the third date that she said that he really started to grow on her. She said that somewhere along the way, they fell in love. This really got me thinking. Could this happen to me?

The story goes that she met him years ago. She said there was an attraction to him in the beginning, but she hid it. She realized he only wanted to be her friend. She actually was seeing someone in another state anyways so that made it easy for her to brush off the feelings.

Life happens. Change occurs. She was dumped by her boyfriend and spun a little bit out of control. He was there to lift her up and help her on her merry way. Time went on. They became closer friends. The attraction thing happened again and she was shut out from his life for a short period of time. It killed both of them. They knew too much about the other to not be friends. Time heals all wounds. Together again.

Another year goes by and the friendship blooms. No more edginess between them. Just two people who could not be separated from each other. It was like they were twins. You could not have one without the other.

Another year goes by. Now they seem as one. Just looking at them you can see the friendship. You can see the love. The way they look at each other when the other isn't looking. The way they just look at each other and laugh for no reason at all. The way he says the simplest "I am sorry that happened to you" so sweetly. The way her eyes sparkle when he walks in a room. The way he stares at her smile when she's not looking. The way she makes silly faces behind his back and he catches her. There isn't a reason they shouldn't be together. They know each other perfectly.

Somewhere along the way they fell in love. They both know it. Now, how are they going to show it?
