I truly believe that I have found the one. But unfortunately, destiny found a way to separate us.
We rarely talked, messaging on Facebook, until it became more often. Text, chat. We became friends. We met one night in September, The rain was hard, I had no umbrella with me, I was trapped in the rain and was soaking. He texted me ‘I'm parked here at the front, in hazard.’ I was nervous and shivering.
He offered me a towel ‘Use my towel and fix yourself, you might get sick.' THEN HE SMILED. That night, I told myself “that smile will change your world forever.” That's how our love story started. We started to spend most of our time together. Date, review, movies.
I had my fears, because i knew, this was the kind of love my Mom had warned me about, That love where you fall so hard, it will only end up in two possible ways; it will change you and make your life as wonderful as fairy tales. Or it will make you fall so hard, you’ll lose yourself, and have to crawl to get back up again - I took the risk. In the end, it's all going to be worth it anyway, I thought. We took the risk.
I thought we had already gone through our hardest battles. Then, I learned he had to go abroad. Those last days we had together, I never showed him how weak I was. He always saw me smiling, laughing, cracking jokes. I showed him I'm strong. Stronger than ever so he will not be discouraged. Sept. 20, 2015. The only thing I can remember was that last long tight hug that we gave each other before he left me to board the plane.
The morning after, when I woke up, tears rolled down my face, because we now live in different time zones, we now breathe different air, and we are now 4,500 Miles apart. Arguments became tougher, Skype and facebook became the only lifeline for our relationship. Sometimes, i just wanna fly and go to him, but it's never gonna be that easy. And the fear that One day he might just wake up and tell me, that we can no longer continue.. God! But no, he will not do that because I have faith in him.
I will follow him, we will both work and hustle, help and guide each other. Someday, make him pancakes every morning while dancing because of all our joy, cook for him and pack him lunch for work, then we will travel the world together, take pictures. Choose a charity, be rich enough to provide for our families and of course, settle down if it’s God’s will.
Our anniversary is coming up. Please help me. Please share this to let him know how much I love him. I want this to reach UAE, reach him, and let him know that I won't give up on us no matter what struggle will come our way. No matter what challenges us.
And the number of likes, are the number of times that he will never give up on us. :) Please help me make my fairytale possible. (I’ll be praying for everyone's fairy tale to come true as well. Hehe.) Thank you!
I love you, see you very soon!"
