Love's Transformation

Do you ever notice the changes that happen when you meet that "special someone?"

I know that when I met mine, I suddenly wanted to be more responsible, more active, and more open to new ideas.

I wanted to learn to cook better for him, and had even found myself saying things that my mother would say sometimes whenever I got frustrated at him.

I can't remember a time before I met him that I ever acted like that (being a tomboy, this change was very strange). 

Why does this happen?  It is as if some sort of switch within us turns on and we become this whole other person.  When I told my mother of this, she laughed and said, "Welcome to adulthood kiddo." 

Sometimes I feel like Peter Pan. There are times when I just don't want to grow up.  But when I look into my "special one's" eyes, I feel like being that grown up person my mother told me I had become. 

Though we both act like kids sometimes, I think that my "special one" and I have  changed in a lot of ways.  You know, I think I just might like this idea of growing up; especially if it's with the one I love.
