the LOVE story: "I love you"

Those three words.

To me they were the almost untouchable, unreachable...shouldn't be said until you've had at least ONE fight words.

Yeh, I had this "play book" on how relationships should go.

Mav did not.

He went with the flow and expressed himself freely. All. of. the. time.

When I saw him standing there solo in the middle of the courtyard in the dark, all spiffy in his button-up shirt and khakis,  holding a single rose...

my heart jumped. It was only two months into our dating relationship. 

What could he possibly be doing?!

He grabbed my hand, hugged me and whispered, "I love you".

The crazy, control freak part of me wanted to check that "play book" to see if this was out of line, but...

too late.

I heard myself saying, "I love you too"...and I was shocked because I knew I felt it & meant it.

I had this huge and almost impenetrable wall up around my heart for the longest time that Matt was managing to slowly chip away at.

I thought I knew how I wanted everything to happen in my life, but Oooo I was quickly coming to realize that you can't control every little thing.

Mav got me.

He broke all of the "rules" too.

& I am so glad he did.
