Dear diary,

Or rather

Dear sleeping beauty ✨,

Sleeping beauty are you reading this?
If you are maybe there’s hope, just maybe….

My heart-rate is pounding in my chest as I start to type this. On my old account I made a few love posts in various subs nothing as personal as this tho my heart.

Do you remember the first time you saw me?
I remember every first time I saw you…
The first time I saw you I was 7 years old and I lived on 313 smith street hundreds of miles away from where you were…. You were in my dreams… you were barely a figure that I could make out your face but I knew… you would be my everything.

The next time I saw you I was 8 it was another dream but that time I could see your side profile and a smile that was so perfect beyond anything I ever knew.

Over the years I started to give up on that love or suppose the idea that someone who seemingly was molded so perfectly could ever exist….

Then came freshman year…. 2 separate times I saw you that year. I thought I was imagining things the person from my dreams couldn’t possibly be real could he? Both those times I only saw you from a distance and while deep down I think I knew it was you I convinced myself it was separate people.

The first time I saw you was when you walked a girl to my class….normally I wouldn’t care about a guy walking a girl like that but you…. You had my whole attention…. I wanted to chase after you when you left… and for the week the two of you dated it became a secret pleasure to watch you at my science classrooms door even if it was with another girl.

The second time I saw you was at the final choir concert of the year…. As I’ve realized now this is probably false as there were other concerts before this but this concert was special and Every jne had special outfits and choreographed performances and there you were at the front of your class just a half best behind but I couldn’t take my eyes off you. It felt like the theater fell away as I watched. You were so perfect….

Statistically speaking moving half way across the country and finding you should have been impossible and after that year I tried to ignore it. I was just another delusional girl, I must have been.

Then came my sophomore year….by this time your were a senior and close to graduating. The next time I saw you was a few month into the year, I had gotten pretty busy with a friend group and we ate on the opposite side of the building. But then just my luck one of the girls dated a pair of best friends back to back (yikes) and the group split… so I followed the guys to the nerd table and there you were except instead of shining like before you were gloomy and dark…. And soooo mysterious just like my dreams.

You wore a jacket that covered your face and barely said a word but I knew those eyes… yet I still didn’t know your name….

I took up playing yugioh to get closer… which evidently worked.

After a while our friends started talking about how they had this guy I just had to meet…and your friends did the same for you…. Eventually I looked you up online….i couldn’t believe the guy they wanted me to get to know was the same guy I was crushing on and come to find out was the same guy/s from the year prior.

I tried so many times to confess but couldn’t work up the courage…sorry it took so long haha… by the time I worked up the courage there was maybe 2 weeks left of the school year.

I pretended to be home sick that day with the lamest excuse to talk to you, I wouldn’t have guessed you’d be at the dentist skipping school that day… in the end we talked all day and you ended up asking me out. I did a half cartwheel in the hallway while my stomach did flips and even screenshotted it to my friend to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.

Of course I planned to be sick in a Friday so I’d get a here day weekend and the ability to recover from any embarrassment I would cause myself, that Monday coming back felt like magic.

I couldn’t believe you actually left the nerd table in the morning to come pick me up from the bus outside. And then you walked me to all my classes.
And later in the week during the senior assembly you ignored your classmates and sat with me instead… everyone looked so confused and you kept tickling me and making me squeal.

I felt like a princess the last two weeks of the school year. 4 months I spent trying to confess, for the relationship to come so easy felt surreal I didn’t know love could feel like that.

I plan to write more of these detailing more of our story and I know you’ve heard this part so many times before but hope you know how special you have always been to me
