The Different Stages of Love

i am no love expert..
but i would say that..
during this 27 years of my life..
i have had my fair share of love..

the experts say..
love can be broken down into 5 stages..

Stage 1. Attraction
Stage 2. Romance
Stage 3. Passion
Stage 4. Intimacy
Stage 5. Commitment

Attraction
this can be further broken down into 2 areas..
physical attraction and emotional attraction..
i guess for me..
the physical attraction is the most important..
for a guy..
it would always start off by..
how u are physically attracted to the gal..
the first moment u lay eyes on her..

then after awhile..
the emotional attraction sets in..
this would be like how u connect with her..
on a deeper level..
like how u find common interests and topics..

baby i won't deny that..
i was attracted to u..
right from the moment i saw u..
i mean..
i already find u cute..
even before u went through that transformation of yours..
hehehe..
to be honest..
i was attracted to that "simple and plain" jane..
which i was not close to at the start..
then we started hanging out together..
it was always so fun doing something with u..
and i slowly looked forward to Fridays..
as there was a chance we could spend some time together..

Romance
i don't think this stage needs much explaining..
basically this is the stage where 2 persons..
starts falling in love with each other..
if u ask me..
i don't think i can specifically tell u..
when was the actual moment i started..
having romantic feelings for u..

but i can clearly say that..
it was probably around after that movie..
hehehe..
then slowly and automatically..
just wanted to be nicer to u..
it made me so happy too..
just to see a smile on your face..

i can still remember so vividly..
the times when i started being a little nicer to u..
instead of teasing u and calling u names..
u felt a little bit uneasy..
i don't know if u still remember what u said to me..
don't be too nice to me..
if not later i may fall for u..
hahaha..

baby do u remember yourself saying this..
lol..
well i do..
i guess at that point in time..
i had not actually dreamt that it would..
develop into something like this now..
but i think that it made me a little happy then..
well then the sms thing..
then the little ice cream kafe thing..
followed by the kiss in the car..
hahaha..
and here we are now..

Passion
for me..
this is the phase where we just can't get enough of each other..
the stage where we drive each other nuts..
just thinking of each other..
the way we urge for each other..
when we get separated even for just a little while..

baby..
i think right now..
we are at this stage..
it drives me crazy..
just looking at your face..
i just can't resist kissing u..
and hugging u..
the moment we are alone together..
i want to cradle u in my arms so badly..
and caress that cute and pretty face of yours..
baby i hope we will never lose this passion of ours..
that this feeling stays forever..

Intimacy
i guess that..
at this stage..
we would be so comfortable..
sharing our thoughts..
our feelings..
our dreams..
this is the stage where 2 persons become 1..
right now..
i think we are just approaching and entering this stage..

excuse me..
how long more u want to dwindle at the entrance..
time to serve the main course right..
don't u think?
lol..
can't be eating finger food for the rest of my life right..
hehehehe..
will be waiting patiently for u my dear..

Commitment
i guess this is the last stage..
where every couple would like to end up..
the final destination where it would either end in marriage..
or COHABITATION..
hahaha..

this would be the most tricky stage..
like how couples resolve their differences..
are they able to share their entire life with each other..
i mean right now..
i don't think we are even close to this stage yet..
although we are not officially together yet..
we are roughly past..
the one month mark of our relationship..

feeling a little puzzled..
why haven we had the customary 1 month argument..
lol..
i mean..
i am looking out for it now..
there were times where i thought..
this is it..
we are going to start the quarrel..
but each time i thought it was coming..
either i would force myself to diffuse the situation..
or it would just turn out that..
u were not even close to getting angry..
hahaha..
am i acting all paranoid and stupid..
i mean..
what they teach u in the textbook..
might not always be the actual case in real life..
hahahaha..
baby..
what do u think?

or is it that both of us understand each other so well already..
that we do not need to have a bicker..
to find out more about each other..
lol..

u are really turning out even better than i had even imagined..
already upgraded u to first class girlfriend material..
then it turns out..
u are even better than first class..
u liar..
u told me u not the teh-ing type..
but u always sa jiao to me..
and drive me so crazy..

u told me u so independent..
but i can feel that..
u really like to have someone..
who is always thinking of u..
and caring u more than he cares himself..

its that reverse psychology of yours again right..
writing off yourself as not up to standard..
then impressing me when i actually experience it..
lol..
very well done dear..
excellent job..
u laid the rabbit trap well..
and made the lion fall into it..
looks like there's no escaping for this silly toad anymore..
hahaha..

baby..
thanks for loving me..
and i quote u back..
love is just a word till u find someone who gives it the definition..
i found u..

u give love a meaning in my life..
i love u..

* I can't look away from you..
** Your smile takes me away from this world..
*** And the way you worry about me, just keeps me so alive..
