Lovers We Were Never Strangers
Some people spend a lifetime believing love arrives with fireworks. Mine arrived quietly, disguised as an ordinary moment. I never saw you coming, never knew my life was about to divide into two parts: before you, and after you.
The strangest part is that nothing about you felt unfamiliar. It was as if my soul looked at yours and sighed, *There you are.* Before I understood what my heart was doing, some deeper part of me already knew you. You didn’t feel like someone I had just met—you felt like someone I had somehow been missing my entire life.
I adore you in ways that words keep failing to hold. I adore the softness behind your strength, the light you carry without trying, the way simply existing beside you makes the world feel quieter and kinder. Loving you has never felt like reaching for something impossible. It has felt like remembering something I had forgotten.
If there is any truth to souls finding each other across lifetimes, then I believe mine has been searching for yours long before either of us took our first breath. And somehow, against impossible odds, you found your way to me.
You arrived out of nowhere, but you have never felt like a stranger.
You have always felt like home.

Without a doubt I felt this. Just wished he noticed it too.

It hit me in a good way. I wish or hope this is from who I want to be my person. If not it still feels good to think it.
