Three years ago a bright eyed girl smiled a lot as the man she was in love with tied the knot.
The man she'd fallen madly in love with.
For better or for worse they promised each other as they walked round and round a fire.
What she had then was a best friend for whom she had endless love. Endless she thought then. And surely it grew bigger and bigger everyday.
There were days of better and then there were days of worse. So many feelings, some win and some lose.
Of the ones that stayed, a strong feeling endured. Familiarity? She wondered, no it's more than that for sure.
A couple of years came and went pretty quick. Trust? Was that it? Yes trust, an unshakeable trust, she didn't know when it came but it was there now along with the love that always seemed to grow.
But there was more, she couldn't put her finger on it. The couple grew a little older together and wiser by a bit. All around the world they wandered arms knit.
Another year went by, and one day while missing him she realised how big the love had grown. How many storms the trust had borne.
And then suddenly she realised what that other feeling was! It wasn't new, always there but this year, his toil and achievements had made this other feeling win, over all others (maybe sometimes tie for first place with love?)
Respect. That's it! Thats the one, she thought, and smiled, with a lot more reasons to do so, than that day three years ago.
