A Love Story - Through Letters

Dear A,

What a world we live in, where such a strong connection can be made online. Where two people can see a few pictures, read a few facts, and go… you know, I want to give this person a chance, give this person my time. I’m not sure exactly what it was that pushed me to click that like button, but I can say your pictures drew me in and the few words you had written helped locked me in completely. You are the one I chose to give a chance to, to give my time and energy too. And here we are a month later and I have no regrets. Something just feels right, feels different, and something has definitely clicked between us. However, something tells me this isn’t going to be as easy as we think, but I know it will be worth it.

I know, if we put the time into us, if we get through the shit I feel like the world is going to throw at us, we will come out the other side better than ever. I feel like we are going to go through a storm or two here in the beginning, but once the storm stops and the rushing water slows, our edges will be all smooth and we will be something beautiful.

Is it silly that I feel this way, and still want to trek through with you? Maybe my feelings come from the fact that we are so different, that we are going to have to collide a few times before we figure out how the pieces come together. Different isn’t bad though, actually, I think it’s a beautiful thing, I absolutely believe in the phrase ‘opposites attract'.

We have enough in common though, to get us through the first few months, but that’s where we are going to have to either slow down what we started up in a blur of feelings and excitement, where we might have to say... you know, we have this amazing potential, but let’s back up and dig into who we are and how we fit together. Say, let’s get to know each other on a different and deeper level to really see how this is going to go.

What I know so far, we both overthink things we shouldn’t. We both are stubborn, athletic, and enjoy adventures. However, we handle stress and hard times so differently. We have so many things in common, but again we are these beautiful opposites. We grew up differently, and worlds apart, but yet here we are, talking, clicking, and hungry for more.

We are so flirty and lovey-dovey right now it makes me smile. We stay up too late, which I know isn’t going to last past the first month or two. For one, I’m not used to it. These late nights are really kicking my butt in the morning, but it’s worth it because I know deep down there is something different about you, something that I’m not going to ever let go of. I know right now I don’t know a lot about where we are going to land or what’s going to happen.

But, what I do know, is that right now you make my heart smile. You are on my mind all day, even when I should be focusing on work. Every time my phone chimes and I see your name across my screen I get this feeling that I can feel through every part of my body. I know it’s only been a month, but I have to say I really like you and I’m over the moon that we are talking about actually setting a date to meet each other.

I know I’m not listening to my own warning about how we are going to get caught up in our initial feelings and excitement but right now I don’t care, right now I just want to see where this face-to-face meeting takes us.

With all my heart, B
