 It’s funny how little mistakes can lead to seriously unexpected events. Some might be good while others could be nothing but trouble. Nonetheless, mine was the reverse of negative.

This “mistake” took place in the summer, during one of my renowned trips to my fatherland. All to say that it was quite a bittersweet meeting, through mutual friends or should I say, my cousin. In some ways it wasn’t supposed to be anything more than a shaggy dog story, but I don’t know, maybe these plans got rearranged somewhere along the way? I just wish that us meeting could have been a bit more magical for instance, meeting at a huge party just like Romeo and Juliet. Instead, it was at a boring old mall, which makes our story somewhat innovative.

Dark brown hair, lighter eyes and a clash between olive and white skin. He spoke my language and I just about spoke his. A poet, a musician and a breathtaking personality. I was astonished. When I met this boy, it seemed like a blind date. I knew nearly nothing about him and he knew less concerning me. We were total strangers. It seems that three hours were just about enough. I’m sure of it.

Is it possible to miss an individual this much? So bad that your stomach turns? Let me tell you one thing; I will always be on my honeymoon phase with this man, because to me, every second counts. I love him.

3250 miles. I love you with all my heart!
