What exactly keeps two people together? What types of cosmic forces have to combine to make two random people come together and stick?  I don’t know at this point if there is really a decision to be made when things fall into place like that, it seems to be that you are just helpless, at the mercy of whatever is to come.  But even then there's something unique about those moments and those people that just stick, they have secured a spot in the fabric of your life and there is no replacing them or getting rid of them, they are there.  You may find someone new or even someone better but you will never find that someone that can replace what they were or are to you. How is it that through the countless encounters that we have with other people every day we are able to find those few that make such an impact on our lives that they become a part of us?  Not necessarily for the good or the bad... they are just ingrained in who we are and what we do with them or allow them to do is not entirely of our choosing. 

We have all witnessed countless relationships where it is painfully obvious that the two entangled in that web just aren’t good for one another... "Girl you should just leave his ass alone" or "Bro she got you out of your lane".  Too many times we have seen these train wrecks occur before our own eyes but when it is our turn to ride that ride we put on the same blinders that we so desperately pleaded for our friends to take off.  When it is, it just is... there is no explanation, no real rhyme or reason, it’s just that one that has you in a way that no one else does and deep down inside you hope they never relinquish that control.  

It's funny, I’ve seen people try to fight it, I’ve seen those who try to act like it isn’t what it is, I’ve even witnessed those who become enraged by the sheer thought of it, but in the end they all circum to whatever "it" is. I guess some things in life can't be explained, they just are.
