Four Letter Word

So, I mentioned in one of my last posts that I was sort of seeing someone. It's the craziest thing. We have been friends for the past 12 years. We met through my best friend when I started dating her brother. This guy was a friend of his and we all lived together at one point. Through the most abusive relationship I ever had, he stayed by my side and after I broke up with the jerk, he remained my friend. I even met my now ex-husband through him and when we were married, he lived in an apartment off the back of our house. He was there when I brought my son home from the hospital and he has watched him grow. I have always turned to him when I needed to talk and I have always trusted him with my deepest secrets. So, here's the crazy part. How do you start a relationship in the middle? In most relationships, you have to get to know someone and figure out their weird habits. With him, I already know him better than anyone. I have loved him, like a friend, for years. But, now with the possibility of something more, my feelings for him have multiplied. I have the feeling like we have been in this relationship for years, but I'm nervous like I'm in a new relationship. It's the funniest feeling I've ever had. It's all the best parts of a relationship all in one. The comfort of an old love with the thrill of a new one. Maybe this will be the greatest romance of all time. I mean, we have been building it for 12 years. Although he doesn't read my blog, maybe one day he will ........I love you NHP.
