Of course, I never acted on it, but there is something to that tingly feeling of having a crush on someone you don't know all that well. The anticipation of a first kiss,... you know what I mean right? Maybe it's the 7 year itch, only for me it happens about once every 18 months.
Yeah... I hd a crush on a co-worker awhile back and it was the fun, flirty, newness of it all. I think it is the excitment that we miss. Not knowing what is going to happen next. I never acted on it and would never think of doing so but it was fun and exciting so I didn't exactly do anything to stop it either. But it bothered me to know that the thought at least crossed my mind.
Then a few weeks later I had a real nice weekend with my wife. Nothing special just renting a movie, laying on the couch, good conversation over dinner, that sort of stuff. It was kind of like somebody turned on a light switch in my head. I suddenly realized that the only thing I liked about the crush was the feelings that it gave me. The excitment, the feeling of being wanted.
But I already had all of that and more with my wife. The bond we have created between each other is stronger than any other bond I have ever created. Although I lived many years without her, I seriously doubt my ability to survive with out her now. I thought about throwing that away over a silly little crush and suddenly that silly little crush was just that: silly.
