My Love Story pt 2

          That first day I spent with my now husband was like something from a fairytale, just on a college campus. I met him in the schools student center and when we decided to leave to go hang out at my dorm, we walked close and then he held my hand.   We spent time getting to know each other face to face. Then it happened and in my mind I can remember it in slow motion. We looked at each other and slowing leaned in and kissed. And again it just felt right.

            I can remember once he left I had a Skype visit planned with my mom and I just couldn’t stop smiling. She asked why I couldn’t stop smiling and I got embarrassed. I was 19, I didn’t want to talk to my mother about kissing a boy. And finally she asked if I got kissed and again I was embarrassed but I couldn’t hide how I was feeling about that kiss.

            After that first day truly together we would spend every spare second together. We would hang out and talk, go on walks. Even just sit in my dorm in silence reading and scrolling on our phones. That silence that is so comfortable because when you are with the right person not every moment needs to be filled with noise.

            I can look back and remember the moment that I was truly falling for him. It was a Wednesday and I don’t think we had even been together a full week yet. We walked just off campus and sat by the nearby river. I looked at him and it just clicked, I am falling and falling fast for this man .It felt like a Taylor Swift song and whenever I think of this memory that’s the soundtrack,Mine by Taylor Swift.

            We both knew how fast and how hard we were falling for each other. But, we didn’t want things to go so fast when we had only been together seven days. So, we waited one more week to finally say I love you. I knew it wasn’t a casual oh I love you where you say it just to say it. It was deep and I was drowning in it. I never knew that I would feel that way let alone have a man feel that way for me. He showed me and still continues to show me how much I mean to him, how much he cares for me, how much he needs me.
