Thank fuck

I thought it'd be years before I dated again.
Sure, I went on dates to push myself into the scene but that didn't work out. I kissed a few people at parties but it was never anything I'd entertain more. And then he came along.
We met in October and quickly became friends since we lived close to each other. We'd message if we were away visiting family etc and it never clicked in my mind how I grinned like an idiot when I'd get a notification from him.
We started to get closer, he was the person that I was the most comfortable w in our friend group and soon I was resting my head on his shoulder when I was tired. I thought nothing of it, friends do that. He put his arm around my waist at a concert and I felt butterflies. I thought I was just touch starved. And so physical affection grew and I started to realise I did like him. We cuddled while watching a film and kissed.
"Thank Fuck" were the first words to leave my mouth and the sentiment remains. After being hurt so deeply 2 years ago, he's shown me love, care, passion and pleasure from completely new perspectives. This is the healthiest relationship I've ever been in, and I hope I don't fuck that up. But everyday I wake up and think "thank fuck he's in my life" because it's starting to be hard to imagine it without him.
