A reflection on our first date 🧡
I knew you were different when you decided you were going to pick me up and take me to our first date - a date you it turned out you had gone above and beyond to make more than I realised it would be.
I remember waiting nervously for you to arrive, hoping you would be everything you seemed to be, but doing so optimistically. It turns out that I was right. Before the first time I laid eyes on you was the last time that I didn't, I can't stop now and I won't. In my head "My god, she is so f***ing pretty, let's not mess this up, Lew". It will always make me chuckle how me looking at you made it hard for you to drive!
I remember how nervous we were when we arrived for dinner, waiting for our table to be ready - it was terrifying, it was cute - it was the first time we were us.
I remember how as every moment went by I felt ten moments closer to you, you seemed familiar to me in a way someone I hadn't met shouldn't, but you did anyway. I think it's our connection and the way we are the same.
I remember enjoying amazing food and wine with you, even though I was too scared to eat some things so I could get the kiss that I was increasingly needing and wanting to from you.
I remember that after a perfect time, we left and we shared our first kiss, in the carpark on the way back to the car... a moment I wish I could relive every single day to experience that utter happiness it gave me.
I remember how you came home with me for a while, how we kissed and how I got to hold you for the first time properly.
I knew you were perfect on that day, I knew that it was different this time, I knew I had to have you and that it felt like we were literally made for eachother. It turns out I was right and here we are, I have the love of my life and soulmate.
I never want to be apart from you ever again.
