The One

It is safe to say that after years of searching I have finally found the one. Here is a little insight to the relationship between the two of us.

It seems that writing this is a more difficult task than I first anticipated, going through all my memories and my thoughts of this girl, I find myself without sufficient words to convey her beauty, charisma and her overall perfection. Was it love at first sight? Maybe, but this was more than that, there was a certain aura about her, and there still is; something about the way she looks, something about the way she dresses and the way she talks. I feel myself being drawn in increasingly as each day passes. With each moment I have spent with her, I have felt like we were unbound by everything around us, like nothing else mattered, because it simply didn’t. My inability to detach my sight from her eyes, her face, her hair and her body as well as listening to every word that rolled off her tongue told me that this was not simply physical attraction. I had begun falling for her. There’s something about her, which is inexplicable, the closest I could say is that she resembles the view of a sunrise over the water, radiating warmth and colour over me. Of course, we grew closer with every second we spent together, one thing is certain throughout all this time, it’s the feeling of love and affection that she shows me. There have been certain steps and places that we have been through together, the holidays we spent abroad and the gifts I have received are all held close to my heart. However, through all of that, I find there are things such as seeing her elegant and perfect visage as I wake and as I fall asleep which remind me why I am the luckiest man to live. She is in my mind the embodiment of everything I could and will ever ask for, the perfect woman. The prologue of our continuing story seems abrupt in retrospect, we had hardly known each other for long before I moved in with her, which is what I’d refer to as our first chapter. Though there wasn’t and still isn’t a moment where I regret making that decision, for even at this very moment, the longer we stay together, the more it confirms my perception that wherever she is, that’s where home is. As each day passed, there was a certain shift in my perception of time, for I could never seem to have enough time to spend with her. I was forever counting the minutes we could have together and it’s as though even an eternity isn’t enough. We have been together for over a year and a half but it feels as if it was only yesterday that I first laid eyes on the beauty which I can now proudly call mine. Every step and choice we took together like moving into our own place has brought us infinitely closer. Though I was a student, this decision made me feel that she and I were in this together and working towards a future together. I have learnt a vast amount from our relationship and from her, everything she does for us, for me and for herself just shows her independence, intelligence and determination. I have come a long way since we have been together too, she has shown me the tools and knowledge to become someone a little better than my previous self. In a way, I feel a little more mature than others at my age. Having said that, she has made me reveal my different sides which just tells me that I’m not afraid to be myself around her, there are no barriers between us. Though there are certain sides of me which she does not approve of, she makes me want to correct them because there’s nothing I dislike seeing more in the world than her upset. We have made so many plans for our future together and all we need to do is to wait for time to pass to see them fall into place. As for now, I want to really treasure every moment we spend together and to show her why she made the right choice in me. One day soon, I would like to call her my wife. Happy birthday Annabel, these words however pleasing they may be, do not come close to my true love and feelings for you. I love you.
