the law of opposites and attraction

Opposites do really attract. Opposites do really have a forever together.

Perhaps it is because I finally talked to her for quite a long time today, and also perhaps because finally she got load to text me. Whatever it is, today turned out quite okay, because we talked. I was right, I was never wrong about it right from the start -- she makes my day turn out fine. She calms me down, and she makes my day end the way it should be -- glad and happy that I have her.

We talked about a great deal of things, but something that we spoke of keeps surfacing in my mind. I told her that we are two different people, and she agreed. I never used to believe that opposites attract, but now, it has been proven wrong. I have proven myself wrong, because my gosh, not only do opposites attract, opposites really do see a forever together.

Do you see that? Opposites attract, and opposites see through to a forever together. She is as different from me as we are similar. Oh, we are similar in so many ways -- the way we think of some certain things, the way we act when it comes to liking someone and loving someone, the way we think and the timing that we do so, even if we are far apart. But we are different in so many ways too.

She prefers the materialistic, I prefer the inner, emotional. And we fit perfectly, because I am able to give her the materialistic satisfaction that she wants, and she is able to give me the inner, emotional satisfaction that I want. That is not to say that she does not want inner, emotional satisfaction too. She wants it, she needs it, and I am also able to give that satisfaction to her. Likewise, I may want or need the materialistic, and she is able to give that to me, when she has the ability to. Yet the simple fact that I am able to give her the materialistic that she prefers, and she is able to give me the inner, emotional that I prefer, speaks volumes about how opposites attract and how we stay together for so long.

She likes being around people whom she is comfortable with; on the contrary, I like my own privacy, when I can get it. And we are both able to get that when we are together, when we live together. When we lived together for the 3 months that I was there, I was able to get my own privacy when I was living with her, because my baby, she subtly knows when I want my own space, and she just gives it to me by letting me do my own things, by letting me do what I want without saying anything. And likewise, I know baby does not like being alone, hence I do not leave her alone when she lives with me.

She likes design as much as I like books and music. And we are able to appreciate each other's likes, despite liking something else. I am able to appreciate her love for design, and as stupid as I may be when it comes to design, I can actually appreciate the beauty of design, thanks to her. Similarly, she is able to appreciate books and music, and we can talk about our likings without any awkward silences in between.

She likes sleeping, and she sleeps early, whereas I am a night person, I stay up late. Yet when we live together, somehow it just fits perfectly. We just fit and suit each other perfectly. Those 3 months that we lived together, when she wanted to sleep early, she just snuggled into my arms and fell asleep, while I cuddled her to me and I stayed up late, watching TV or reading. I didn't ask of her to stay up to accompany me, because she didn't need to. Even when she sleeps, she accompanies me all the time, simply because she loves snuggling up to my arms and my body when she sleeps.

Of course, this also means that there are nights when we cannot make sweet love, because it gets late when we get home, and she wants to sleep. But it just takes accommodating, and I just let her go to sleep, because I know there will be another night to make sweet love. Likewise, there are nights when she will stay up with me just to watch a movie or talk, even when I can see her sleepy eyes and I know she is falling asleep while watching the movie. And of course, there are nights when we both make sweet love till early morning arrives, and of course, then it is perfectly fine because we are both sated and satisfied by love.

Now that I am back here and she is where she is, this matter of her sleeping early and me staying up late does not bother either of us anyway. She is a homebody, she likes staying home. I am a wanderer, I am always going out. Yet, these opposites still attract. I make my way home early, just so I can talk to her on the phone every night, so that she can still sleep early. Similarly, she will stay up to wait for me to call her, on the nights that I might be home slightly late, or commuting home takes longer than usual.

It is these tiny acts of giving and taking. It is these tiny acts of accommodation. It is these tiny acts that prove our love and commitment to each other. Before, I could not quite see it this way. But now, I do.

It is these tiny acts of love, faith, trust, commitment, and accommodation that proves that opposites really attract, and that opposites do really stay with each other through to a forever. Because we are the epitome of it all.
