It took so long to find you...and now I don't want it to change. I want it all set in amber. I want us and nobody else in the most selfish way you can imagine. I can't help it-- I'm old-fashioned. I believe marriage is between a man and a man. Armistead Maupin
About This Quote

The original meaning of the quote, “It took so long to find you.” was in reference to losing a woman’s love. It is also an extremely romantic statement. However, it is also very shallow in its meaning. The beauty of this quote is that it can be applied to any relationship in any situation.

It does not require the person saying it to be in love or separated from their partner for too long. Instead, it can be said when something good happens, something that feels unforgettable.
