that makes complete sense and i commend you for both finding center... and then the ultimate love story of choosing to reunite! personally i cannot imagine being with the any of the people i was with when i was 17-- so much has changed!
came into ourselves and "met" each other as two whole beings who didn't need the other person to feel fulfilled or complete
this is SO key... i think when we're 17 it's nearly impossible to move from that space, but what magic that you two still choose each other. wow! <3
