The Melding

Just maybe, you do this, too, whether you're a guy or a girl. 

Meeting someone who gives you butterflies in your core, makes you feel so giddy ~ that's all common sense leaving your body! Ha ha! Yupp, that's what it is. JP!

This person lights your fire, makes you feel so happy, so alive that everything about them speaks to you. They could laugh so hard they're snotting themselves or their drink of choice is coming out of their ..........well, I guess you get it!
Nearly everything they do is adorable even when it's not so adorable on anyone else.
You're hooked, my friend! Bitten by the loooooove bug!

With time, you begin to pick up their habits. Little things they say & do. There may also be things that you two develop together. It's your own little language of your own. Unique to both of you, no one else "gets it". The lovers' inside joke, inside language.

When a break up occurs, some of the mannerisms, the colloquialisms remain. You may not be aware of them, they have become a part of you, of who you are. At first, during the healing from the breakup, it will have its' own painful sting when you realize........you're doing it, again.
Try to stop yourself. Just try ~ ha ha! 
Resistance is futile ~ wink-wink.

Do you do this? This melding of your personality as well as the development of unique traits with someone you once loved?

Confession time ~ I do this.

No shame.

Just being human. I loved and though I lost, I still love, I still feel a little bit of ~ HIH!! ~ when I catch myself. 
It's a sort of light combo of momentary gasp/sob, then, a flutter flood of soft, fleeting delight.

It says, ~~

"You're out there in the world, you're gone from my life, I loved you, I love you still. You may come back to me or may not, I loved you then, I love you still. Always have, always will."
