Over the weekend, my boyfriend and I celebrated our one year anniversary by attending the annual halloween party where we met. {we dressed as Wills and Princess Kate. it was the best.}
When I woke up that morning I said to him "I'm going to meet you for the first time today" and the thought gave me a funny feeling. For the most part, Saturday was just like last year. I tidied my room and read in the afternoon. I primped in the same mirror, sitting on the same hardwood floor. Except, this time I knew who was waiting for me once I got to the party.

Time is such a tricky thing. We never know what's coming for us. But, we move forward with a mundane kind of faithfulness - until one day, one moment we run smack into something that feels like it was always just around the corner.

I love this! So beautifully written. And happy anniversary! I met a someone special at a Halloween party, too. Ours didn't end up being true love in the romantic sense, but it's a lot like it in the forever friendship kind of way. And because of that, Halloween feels like a magical time with surprises that can leave you forever changed.
ReplyDeleteI love this (and you, and you two) so much! Very romantic.
ReplyDeletei really love that last paragraph. and your costume....love it!
ReplyDeleteumm that is so cute. love tha tyou guys met on halloween... in costumes...
ReplyDeleteand that last sentence... i want whatevers around the corner
the last paragraph is spot on. I'm in the waiting place now (and of course, I can't help but think of Dr. Seuss). While it can be lonely sometimes, it's peaceful mostly and just like you put beautifully I know that my next love is "just around the corner."
ReplyDeleteIf I was a guy I'd be so in love with you. I can't wait to use that line some day: "I'm going to meet you for the first time today."
