"I’m just saying, you can’t know who that person is … the person who will become your ultimate confidant, your soul mate, or your lover. He may be someone you’ve had your eye on for years, or he might be that guy standing next to you in torn jeans buying some part for his car. Whoever it is, he starts off as a stranger, so it could be anyone."

He started out as a complete stranger. But look what he turned into: lover, confidant, support system, best friend, the best thing I will ever have in my life. Now we've gone back to being strangers, as if we never were.

I would wait. I would run. I would stop. I would go; fast, slow, backwards, forwards. I would fall so fast; I fell so fast, so hard that each second in each minute became something epic, tangible, and vastly significant. Those seconds were smooth and soothing as they ran through my fingers. They made my heart race, those seconds, they slowed my breathing, and there is this lingering feeling in my stomach. This feeling, maybe a tugging, maybe an aching, it is always welcomed. These seconds let the light in; they are blinding in their beauty. I shut my eyes to feel them rush past. Eyes closed, I still know they are a blur, time is a blur, but it is so lovely.
