Relationships simply do not happen in an instant......those that do, unfortunately, rarely has a happy ending. I do believe that a couple gets together when they shared the same interest, same goals and probably some chemistry. After that, it's about having the right skills set (trust, faith, understanding...etc...etc) to make the relationship works and ensure it stays forever and ever. A relationship has to be nurtured before you and your partner can "grow" to become soul mate. By then, I believe you will enjoy the closeness and intimacy unparalleled to others.
Sweetheart - I do love you....but I am very afraid to take the next step.... :(
Mon amour, tu me manques.
