Gaurav had been in this relationship for 5 years now. He was this sort of person who had lot of people in his life, he loved them very dearly. Friends, family and finally but most importantly his significant other with whom he shared a steady relationship for the past 5 years. Gaurav is the sort who loved very strongly, each relationship was very special to him; it took a lot from him, he invested a lot in each of them. And they were very important to him.
But with the one that mattered the most, he was very different. He never saw an up or down. It was intense, but a sustained intensity that seemed to last for long time and something he felt would never never go down. And as she said, he expected very little which while was awesome in many many ways, was not so great in some. But she did not complain.
And sometimes he wondered about this. She was so much a part of his life that he just accepted, even when things changed. He waited patiently when she was cranky, she went off into her own world and when they felt like strangers to each other. But somehow, this love was so strong, so secure and stable that it never shook, may be just a little. It did not have the crazy high of a drug, but brought the security that only home brings and for this they loved each other very very very deeply. Thank god they thought many times, we're glad it worked out the way it did!
