she knows me all too well ... for the better

When your girlfriend plans a date around things you two have wished to do for a while, things that have significant meaning in the development of the relationship, and adds a ton of spice to it ... damn, you can't help but be amazed and completely grateful that she had the time to put together something so awesome amidst her busy lifestyle.

First stop: VIP Billiards. What can I say ... shooting pool with her was great, never felt so refreshing in my life. After that we went to a park that is very close to our hearts, we visited this place when we first entered post-secondary institutions and wanted a place to hang out. Sitting on a park bench, laying down in my lap, amazed that there were no clouds in sight and talking about the solar system was something out of this world. We decided we were both hungry so we left the park, picked up some books from the local library since it was a mere 5-minute walk away, and then headed over to UTSC for an early dinner. Subway was being served, yum! Ham on whole wheat fixed with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, hot peppers and honey mustard sauce = meal of champions.

Unbelievably enough, UTSC is extremely close to our hearts. The extremities of our relationship can be pointed out to locations on campus that probably have little meaning to the passerby students. A mere 2km radius from the campus can literally contain close to 70% of the happenings in the relationship. Locations of heart break, the mending of these, and everything from these to the most extravagant parts of our relationship are all connected to this campus in many ways. Going back there and spending time in the places that seemed, at the time, were the locations of a storyline headed to its demise made it feel all the more important. Much like how they were supposed to feel from the beginning; what is a relationship without its downfalls, though? Too good to be true, that's what. We had to go through those downfalls, and that's why this (relationship) never felt more real, more ... established than it ever has. And I couldn't imagine being happier with anyone else.
