Many things come unexpectedly, but I think that one thing that comes unwittingly to many of us is love. That feeling that rushes over you without warning, and though your head may tell you no, your heart screams at you to pay attention. Love can be sitting right in front of you with blinking lights, signs and arrows all around it. But we're all too ignorant, stubborn, or in too much denial to notice. I never expected to fall in love with my best friend, but I'm so glad I did. We all have that best friend who has always been there for you, even when you didn't have to ask. You take him for granted at social events and parties, where he fills in for your date that couldn't make it. He goes, simply happy to be there with you; you, too blind to notice that he's perfect for you. He's always just there, in the background, as you incessantly deny that he could possibly have feelings for you.
