-FUNNY HOW SOMETIMES YOU JUST... FIND THINGS.

1

& as I see you beside me, I wonder why life makes soo much sense with having you around. 

When I first met you, for the first time in my life, I had not been looking for anyone, for the first time, I was happily single & meant it. I had kept love to the side having been burnt too many times.

But the day I first saw you, I knew I was in love. hopelessly & irrevocably in love. I do not know how or why or anything. the question didn't matter when I knew the answer to all of them.

& you questioned, oh lord, how badly you questioned. & for all of them, I had & have the same response, I love you, do not ask me how, I love everything about you, even the parts I do not like, I love.

Maybe it was because, for the first time in my life, I found a boy who could stand at the conjunction of tradition & modernism toe to toe with me. maybe it was because we both knew life would be better with each other but neither of us needed the other. or maybe, just maybe, it was because you & I are made from the material of the same star & it is only after millions of years that we have been able to meet each other after roaming the cosmos, I like to believe it is so.

All my life, I had thought of all the promises I would make to the boy I loved, the things I would do, with time. I have realized that it is the simplest of things that matter the most. so, for you, I make one & just one promise-to always try & make it work. to not leave you when you're sad or angry. to stay at your side, no matter what, to meet you in the middle when we stand at the opposite ends of the spectrum

Love, I have realized, just is. you do not love someone for any reason. you either do or you don't. & I love you. no matter how incompetent, that expression is in conveying what I feel for you, that is the only one I have. 

Maybe, I will get better ones with time. I have only the rest of my life to figure it out.
