Chemistry
Let me start this off by saying that i have never been one of those people who say that you just "know" if someone is right for you or not, pretty much the moment you meet them. I think people surprise us. I think we surprise ourselves sometimes. It's a learning curve to say the least.
Not to say there isnt something important about chemistry...
What is it about chemistry? I know when most people speak of it in relationship terms they are referring to physical/sexual chemistry. While i wont downplay that type of chemistry's importance, i think what is on my mind is more of conversational chemistry. That weird somewhat indefinable connection where someone just totally gets you, where you get them, where they make you think more than anyone else with just a few simple words. That, indeed, is the relationship gold mine. I think if you find that, almost anything else becomes workable. Or at least, it gives you the motivation to work on anything else that may be troubling you.
I've met very few people, especially lately, that i could say i have that sort of chemistry with. The only one that comes to mind lives far away. Probably too far away to get very excited about the kind of chemistry we seem to have. For whatever reason she seems to get me. I wish i had that more in my life. By "in my life", i mean, oh let's say.... the same coast. Is that too much to ask?

you and i have always shared this movie--perhaps this is why.
i'm real glad you are in my life--i hope you know i "get" you. it's weird thinking we make better friends than anything else--but i like it this way.

I should have quoted that myself, but it's more fitting that you posted it.
Everything i had an issue with concerning you was attached to being in a relationship with you. Thats why those things initially attracted me to you, and thats why i can love those things now.
And yeah, you always got me. Even when my closest friends didnt.
