Attraction

Attraction means everything in a relationship. I don't know how people don't believe that but I know for sure it's important to me.

I found that attraction is in full bloom these days. Between me and you-know-who that is.

When I see him, my heart actually does a little leap and I start grinning like crazy. If I don't grin, he knows something's bothering me and he does what he can to get the smile back on my face.

And it's the same way for him.

The other day we were among friends and I stepped away to talk to someone else. I looked over at him at the same moment I caught him giving me the once over and when our eyes met, we held an intense gaze for a few seconds without anyone else noticing (or even mattering at that point).

And that's not the only time that's happened. His eyes give everything away: tired, sleepy, anxious, and of course, intrigued.

Staring is common in our relationship. It was a stare that made us realize the possibility of us getting together was no longer a game of will. As he puts it "man, I'm afraid for the next time I see that look..."

The morning I took him to the airport, I could almost feel what he felt about me through the look on his face when he approached me to say good morning. And I hope when he sees me smile, or furrow my brown when he tells me about what's bothering him, he knows that I'm most attracted to him and no one else.
