Neighbors

We might be slow as they say, but we grew up living next to each other. Firm friends ever since we can remember, but we were 26 when we became lovers. We dated other people and having not found our perfect partner in life, having not considered each other as our perfect lover first. Finally discovered we were each other's perfect partner all along. As my grandma always said "we can't see the wood for the trees" when she was referring to us. It was only after we had realized we were perfect for each other that it made sense to us. All the time we dated other we rejected them for not being like our long-term friend next door.
