Meant to be
From the moment I saw your photo online, something deep down told me you were meant to be mine.
I knew trouble was beyond the horizon
but nothing was gonna stop me from obtaining you.
Everyone falls in love differently..
meeting through friends.
In a public place.
Or a photo at first sight like we both did.
My body would be cold as ice if I didn't have you.
Eventually, someone would find me frozen.
The only person to thaw me out was you.
One message from you did the trick to make me fall harder.
“Hey beautiful, I love your cat eyes. And I'd like to get to know you.”
My heart fluttered with millions of butterflies that I responded back too late.
Even after a hard day at work, you made the night better.
That night, it felt so restless waiting for a response.
A part of me was ready to give you my phone number without hesitation.
Did you feel restless like me wanting to do the same?
It sure felt like we synchronized together that day.
A few hours later, before work, we exchanged numbers.
Like a competition, you beat me to the finish line.
This was a start of something good after a previous abusive, toxic marriage.
If destiny bought us together, you don't pass a chance of love like that.
21 questions lead to late night chats.
It was like sleeping next to you every night, knowing that's where home was; with you.
My parents didn't think it would last
and your parents thought the same.
The stars with the universe tested us, knowing one of us would cave while the other ran.
Love is a gamble.
If you want it bad enough, you take it.
Love is also a heartache when you wanted to be friends.
But I wanted more.
Only you could shatter me, destroy me, wreck me, and make me feel again.
It was only you who could save me.
Weeks passed, yet we still talked every day.
Our interaction remained the same.
The worst of many nights of my life happened where a death in the family occurred.
Yet you were on the other phone hearing those cries.
They say when a candle is lit, if it blows out, someone passed away.
I lost my Aunt Lily that night, and you asked me to be your girlfriend the same night.
I said yes!
If anyone knew the other reason I fell harder for you, they would fall too.
Any man to play 🎵 Good morning, beautiful By Steve Holy 🎵 on the guitar would do it.
Plus, everything inside of you is what attracted me that much more.
6 months later, I'm declaring my love for you to my parents.
Even packed up what I could take with money.
You can't help who you fall in love with.
Off on a road trip to be with you that took 5 hours.
And it was worth everything because...
Gabriel, you were meant to be mine.
Like I was meant to be yours.
Wherever our love story takes us, I hope it ends with us growing old together.
If I was locked up for life, I'd want it to be with you.
