I met a girl online, and we planned to get coffee. But the night before she called and asked me to come pick her up from a party. Some drunk guys were grabbing her arm trying to get her to stay, so I pretended to be her boyfriend. We were close for a few months, then broke it off. Six years later, I was looking at old pictures of her, remembering how much fun we had together, and I realized I had loved her this whole time.

I had just bought a CD by an obscure band in high school, and I played it on repeat for weeks. He was in one of my classes, so asked him if he had heard of said band. He laughed, pulled out his day planner, and showed me the first page, where he had pasted the lyrics of his (and my) favorite track.

We were driving home from the grocery store one day after a few months together, and she asked, “Do you love me?” After thinking about it for a minute, I realized, “Well, yes, I guess I do.” All it took was her asking me to realize it.

We unexpectedly found a snake in his partially flooded basement on a rainy evening. It took two hours to capture it together. Seeing him regress to the likes of an 8-year-old girl, complete with the high-pitched scream, melted my heart.

I read her entire 93 page blog before we even met. She captivated me before I met her, and has captivated me ever since.

I couldn’t be happy unless I was with him. I could tell when I first met him that he would be the end of me…
