One of the most amazing things about love is our inability to control it. It comes with no warnings or signs and it won't leave just because we don't want it anymore. My one and only experience with love was completely out of my hands. I fell in love with a girl who was just a really good friend to me. Luckily, this uncontrollable feeling was mutual and helped us create a strong relationship between each other. In the poem "I Know You", Katie supports the claim that love is uncontrollable. When she first met her boyfriend, she said "I felt like I had known you forever, telling you my secrets and what I didn't want ever. you listened to me I bet you thought I'd never end, who would have thought we would become more than just friends." Even though this is not a direct support of love being uncontrollable, her experience shows that she didn't have control over her feeling and could not predict that her relationship with the man would become intimate. Her tone and use of words suggests that she is appreciative of the time and effort the man has shown her. When I first met my girlfriend, I had no idea that we would end up dating or even become friends. In fact, that was the last thing that I thought would happen between us. Slowly over time, we became really good friends. At one point, just like Katie in the poem, she started to share much of her secrets with me. It wasn't long after that, we became really close and more intimate. Before we knew it, we both fell in love with each other. None of us said anything to each other at first because we didn't want to ruin our friendship. But since love is uncontrollable, we couldn't resist the urge to tell each other how we felt. We had no idea that it was the beginning of one of the most important phases in our lives. I can relate to
