When a relationship begins to go stale, most couples decide the best thing to do is take a break and create some space. They spend time away from each other to realize they need the other person. Not CK and me. In all honesty, we've never had any real problems. No big fights. CK and I bicker. We pick at each other and poke at each other, we argue in jest and at the end of the day, we go to bed laughing. Breaks don't suit well with us. On the contrary, our relationship is at its peak when we're together, really together. For days and nights when we can sit on opposite sides of the room and manage to get the other person to look up to catch a wink or a stuck out tongue. We are strongest with our little routines and rituals. With banter and nagging, ticking and jokes, pampering and sharing, for days and days together. Fortunately, the summer allows us plenty of togetherness. 24/hour togetherness. Sleeping and waking togetherness. Perhaps that's why there have been so many moments later when I've turned to him and said, "It happened again. I fell in love with you all over again, just then, in that brief moment." These really aren't things to share publicly, so to keep it vague I'll just lay the message out there: It is possible to fall in love at a young age. It is possible to change. It is possible to find that someone who makes you feel like the only one.
