"Father Time steals our days like a thief.."

I realized after my last post that I'm always writing about bettering myself to a new step in life's stairs. Or about how I am determined to be a greater, more advanced version of myself. And you know what, I'm fine with that.. I always want to be moving forward and stepping up; I can't stay stagnant and unhappy with my idleness. That's just not me.

So there's that little tangent. Has nothing to do with the next one.

Tonight I went over to my boyfriend's house for a few hours. We had dinner with his family and so on. It was cozy. I had about an hour left before I needed to leave and he was working on a project on his computer. I, being the biggest distraction on earth, just wanted him to put it away and lay on the couch with me. He did. :) We were laying/sitting there, half sharing secrets and half wrestling, and every time he would sit still and look at me I would cover my face and giggle. [Mind you, we've been together for around 2 1/2 years now.] It was like I was 14 and he had just told me that he "liked" me. All that time, I never thought about any "hard times" we'd had in the past that brought us to where we are, I just thought about how fun and compatible and precious we are together. I knew I had responsibilities to tend to at home, but I never, ever wanted to leave that moment. My phone's pre-set alarm kept singing out Jon Foreman lyrics in intervals of 5 minutes to warn me of the time. I only got up to dismiss it because I didn't want it to annoy anyone, because I surely did not care. We made our way to my car to say the goodbyes that we say so often, and plenty more goodbyes that we have to voice on the road ahead of us. I remember every one... And that I never want them and that they always set me back on time, but I don't ever mind. I think they're worth it.

As I was driving away recalling that last hour, I said to myself, "THAT is the only reason I need. And that is why my heart is so inclined to his."

Forgive me if my little love story wasted your time. I just wanted to share my personal epiphany of today with the world.

Goodnight, good day.
