Through my horrid/wonderful years of training under SME, I’ve summed up the words ‘boyfriend, lover, crush, my man etc..’ to one word-familiarity. It most likely sprung from my lack of experiences with ‘true’ loves, or at least, as true as love can get when your voice is still in the midst of changing (I started my trainee life young, ok?). Or maybe, it’s because I’m still much too involved with my nativity.
We don’t do everything together. In fact, to be quite frank, being that we’re utter opposites, it’s kept us quite a distance when it comes to being together. That is, our outings came very close to zero. Yet when we are together, we’re the biggest saps known to mankind. Neither of us seem to mind though. We don’t get too in depth with each other’s private lives, but we’ve gotten to know ‘just enough’ about each other.
Back to my conclusion about the relationship between lovers being the same is familiarity. I think the main ingredient to maintaining a healthy rela-sorry, sounding too much like a relationship consultant here. Anyways, in my opinion, the whole of 'being someone's boyfriend', is being familiar with them-being comfortable and completely vulnerable to being made fun at for being you-lots of beings. It’s funny, and kind of ironic in a sense, how can two people so different be so in ‘love’?
This familiarity I’m trying to express is shown when they steal your food, take your gum, make fun of your dancing, compliment your dancing, compliment your ass, make fun of your crazy hairstyles, laugh at your outlandish style, and most importantly, the compassion you and they share. The fact that they can look at you with a passing glance and assume on instinct that maybe, today’s been a rough day for you or that today has been the most wonderful day you’ve experienced in a long time. The little note in your hearts that say, ‘we’ll get each other through this, and maybe we’ll lose contact with each other 10; 20 years from now, but for now, we have each other.'
Choi Minho has become the one person in my life whom I can say, I truly adore. Because even though our love life isn't filled with hot steamy sex, long walks by the beach, meeting each other's parents; acknowledging each other's parents as 'in-laws', or even celebrating our one-month together. What we do have, are the long talks about our life, our future, the sweet kisses he lands on my lips that makes my mentality melt, and the feelings I (and he) carries when we look into each other’s eyes.
We have a connection few can spot with only a glimpse; it's something that needs to be observed. But it doesn't matter what people think of us, we have each other, and I could tell anyone, any day:
‘Choi Minho? Yeah, he's a wonderful man. And what makes it even more wonderful, is that he’s my wonderful man.'
