Together They Were a Combustible Fire

He enjoyed his life in every way. She was actualized, but not loved. They both thought they were complete. They had their hobbies, their languages, their religions. They both thought they were set, happy with their singleness until they discovered each other. What she lacked, he had mastered. Her sense of humor and love of people reeled him in. Their romance was fast and passionate. They were complete alone, but their togetherness was a combustible fire that could not be quenched. The union of these two resulted in a lifelong commitment not misunderstood by any who knew and loved them, for we all saw that she was more herself when she was with him, And he was even more magnificent that we thought he could ever be When he was with her. Separately they were both a wow, but together, they were the entire play, and a ridiculous number of curtain calls.

Thank you Georgia; it is wonderful when the right people meet. I met my husband at age 3 or 4, but did not really get to know him until we became best friends in high school. I was a sophomore. He was a junior. We have been married 48 years.
