Even without knowing what I wanted, I think I always liked you.

I know that probably doesn’t make sense, but it makes all the sense in the world in my head. You were always it. You were the part of my life I never expected, but I needed every minute of it.

I always knew you existed; I guess I never saw you coming, though. I think I never would’ve supposed that the universe would’ve wanted you to be the curveball to come into my life at the time that we collided. Who would’ve thought that we would’ve been each other’s escape at the time we both needed it.

Do you ever feel the need to revisit that escape? It’s on my mind each time before I go to bed and even more on those days where it’s 2 pm, and I’m swamped with work. Maybe that’s what I need again, an escape from the rest of the world. Who knows?

I don’t know how my life would’ve looked like, but I’m confident that it’s a lot better after you because of you. I know you may feel like you haven’t exactly been the one to push me, but I want to be better for you, and that has never been something I’ve felt very strongly about. I never thought I would need a reason to be a better man and just an overall better person, but you shut that down quickly.

What the hell was the universe trying to get me to learn when it put you right in front of me?
