The first day I saw you, I knew you were the love of my life. In that moment, time stood still; it felt like we would stay together forever."
The 7th of January 2025. That cold, depressing morning, I woke up with nothing fun to look forward to, nothing cute, wholesome, or loving. Just me and my studio apartment the size of a bean, well that's what you would say. I had to force myself to get out of bed, rolling onto the floor, hating each moment of my sorry excuse of a life.
At first, I sat in bed doomscrolling my life away as always, but that's when I saw a video about going for a run in the park, so I FINALLY decided to go on a run to the park. I remember thinking to myself that the parks were always nice in the beginning of the year.
I saw many thinking things like birds watching old dogs play with each other like they're puppies. I saw the sun reflect its light right off the lake and bounce right under a tree where a couple sat; oh how that would have annoyed you.
But I kept my walk going. I kept stepping forward into my continuous isolated plane of existence. As if my day couldn't get any better, at that exact moment my ankle buckled, and there I went flying into the first person in front of me.
Lucky for me, it was the most beautiful person I've ever been given the chance to lay my eyes upon. Eyes that could do no wrong, lips that could tell no falsehoods or lies, and the most precious silk flat brown hair; yet all I could think in that moment was how I wanted to die because that was how we had to meet, in the most embarrassing way for me.
Oh, and then I said the most corny cheese line ever, "thanks for saving me. What if you save my number and I can repay you some time?" You replied in your fashion as always, having to make it com
After that, you told me,
"I accept your offer, buttt you'll get it here at the same time tomorrow, let's have faith decided."
Me not being able to take any hint, I said,
"So it's that date?"
And you shouted back in a sacrist voice,
"YES, CAN I GO ON WITH MY RUN NOW?"
I never felt my heart jump faster in my life. It felt like I was a teenager in high school all over again, asking out my crush for the first time, blushing in the cold yet trying my best to hide it.
Yet the whole movie was written on my rosies, looking like a volcano going off in Greenland.
That night, I went to bed like a young boy waiting for Santa to come the next day, but in my world, my santa is the 5ft 3 woman of my dreams.
