Just found some old notebooks of mine. It’s amazing to trace the history of me and Mike’s relationship. I can remember like it was yesterday how much it hurt to like him. I was physically, mentally and emotionally in such pain over the fact that I couldn’t be with him. Things like this really make me believe in soul mates. Not only was he my first official boyfriend in middle school, but after liking him for so long and having so many forces try to separate us, we’re still together today, and I plan to be with him for the rest of my life. All of the poems and journal entries I used to write somehow kept me sane. They helped me hold it together when I was so confused and distressed, until one day I let it all loose and sent the text message that resparked our relationship. Had I not sent the message asking “why don’t we ever talk anymore?” we may have never gotten together again. I cannot imagine my life without Mike. He is absolutely the only one for me. <3
