REAL love?

Kenzie • Just tracking my cycle. Dog mom and always on the go!
Hi so I am in a somewhat new relationship. My boyfriend and I have been dating since September. I'll be 20 in June and he just turned 26. When we first met, sparks flew. Neither of us can explain it- and trust me we've tried haha. He's stepped up to the plate more than I could've ever imagined... I lost my grandma who I was very close to, in October. She said even before they met he could be her pallbearer because "if he's special to you then he's special to me" He's comforted me through that heart ache... helped us move my grandpa from sc to live with us in nc. His friends told both of us at different times they've never seen him so happy. My friends say we act like we're married but in a fun way. We say we love each other and have for over a month. It feels silly, like this is some sudden puppy dog "love" but it doesn't at the same time- hope you can folllow haha. We play around all the time, never a dull moment.  He is an army veteran and let's face it, he's been around the block lol. But he says no one has ever made him feel so important or loved. Same goes for me. We share interests. The only thing that worries me is he said most of his relationships didn't last longer than 6 months but says so far with time, he could see us getting married. Crazy thing is, I can see it too. I know this is real love, actions speak louder than words. Right? But how could this have happened so fast? I usually put up a guard and he plowed through it, like I never had one to start with. If anyone can relate, do you know what in the world I'm feeling? Haha thanks for reading.
