Multiple Choice

And you are worth the time it takes to take the time to get to know you. We’ve managed to muddle through the awkward stage of I like you and you like me, but when we both finally said ‘yes,’ life became a multiple choice test, not knowing anything we became each other's best guess. And, holding your hand is less like exploration and more like discovery. Lady, I don’t have to study you to be sure. You’re the choice I made before I knew what the other choices were.

It's interesting that I found this quote today. I was just wondering this week if love needs to be a multiple choice test . . . as in, do we need to explore all our options before choosing one? Does not exploring all the options make the choice any less special, or any less permanent?

Surprisingly, while I feel the need to research every other choice I make to the max, I feel less and less that way about love. It's pretty clear if someone is taking the time to take the time to get to know you. If you find yourself looking forward to that time and feeling like a larger version of yourself after that time, then I think you can make a best guess and rejoice in the discovery.
