Just Us

The journey from 'you' and 'me' to 'us' remains the most profoundly soothing chapter of my life.

I can still vividly recall the day when you first appeared before me, clad in a black shirt and cradling a guitar in your capable hands. The song you sang was beautiful, but it gained an ethereal quality when carried by the mellifluous notes of your voice. Inexplicably, our initial texts transformed into endless calls, and what started as friendship seamlessly blossomed into love.

It's remarkable how encounters with strangers can etch indelible anecdotes in the story of our lives. Sometimes, such strangers become permanent fixtures in our journey, forming unbreakable bonds that defy explanation.

One particularly sweet memory, though etched in the past, retains its enduring freshness. It was the night when we embarked on a long, moonlit walk, our hands gently entwined. At that moment, I bared my soul, describing my messy, imperfect self. You responded with words that have remained etched in my heart, saying, 'Embrace the chaos, and if it becomes overwhelming, I'm here to untangle it.' 

Underneath a star-studded canvas, as I gazed into the heavens and pondered the essence of love, I posed the question, 'What is love?' Your reply was a revelation: 'Love is devoid of expectations; it thrives on trust and mutual understanding.' It was in that profound moment that I knew I had found my first love."
