You know the feeling... you meet someone, and your heart skips a beat. You see them and your stomach feels like it's flipping (not in a pukey way). It's the butterflies that you get when you're in love.
Sometimes, you feel them, and then eventually you get used to them, and they just becomes a part of the everyday, so you don't even notice them anymore. Perhaps that feeling stays with you all the time, or perhaps it fades away without you noticing its absence. Then every once in awhile, it hits you again - unexpectedly, thrillingly and wonderfully - catching you off guard.
Whether it be from the loving glance that lingers and makes you feel soft and special, or the absent-minded touch that instantly makes you feel connected. Whether it be from the big gestures like roses, or the little ones like offering words of encouragement. It may be a result of the small sacrifices that aren't mentioned but are done without a second thought, or the big ones involving time and effort, that are a reflection of putting someone else's needs or wants before your own. Any and all of these things have the power to create that feeling.
The last couple of days have been like that for me. I've been with my guy for just over 17 years now - and he can still give me butterflies. <3
