I had a dream about you last night and it was beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

I dreamt I was there with you but you were walking away so I called out to you but you did not hear me so I called again, still you did not hear me.

I saw you go into a store, you were with a friend so I waited clutching my bag, I have no idea what was in it, clothes I think.

Moments later you came out and my heart raced as you walked past me shooting a quick glance my way but carrying on, then almost instantly you turned and stared right at me, bright eyed with a look of shock, confusion and yet happiness perhaps written across your face.

It felt as though an eternity was compacted into a mere few seconds.

My heart skipped a beat while I muttered out the words “I’m here, it’s me”.

Having only known you in primary school and only recently over the last few months exchanged letters with you

I really wasn’t sure what to say then with warming eyes and a big smile you embraced me, a welcoming and almost loving embrace settling my stomach and returning my heartbeat to a normal pace.

We wandered slowly over to your car, and no further words were exchanged for we were both just so happy to be in one another’s presence finally.

You leaned so casually against the car as I stood nervously for a while, still clutching my bag.

We spoke for a few minutes about which, so insignificant, I cannot recall.

With all the excitement before I knew it, we had arrived at your place where you invited me in and showed me to your room. You lay down on your bed propped up by a collection of pillows while I stood awkwardly on the other side of your room.

You tapped the bed suggestively, inviting me to come lay next to you.

I rearranged some of the pillows and lay down fearing that you may feel my heart beat once again picking up its pace.

My stomach danced around like a thousand butterflies after breaking out of their cocoons and now learning to fly.

I nestled into you with my head on your chest while you pulled your arms around me and held me tight against yourself. Your body was so warm.

I could hear your heart beating as fast as mine was, beating in unison, it felt magical.

With our legs entwined, embracing one another it felt so right, so glorious, that is how love is supposed to be.

You and I.

Together.

We talked for a while, still in each others arms, as the tension…. tension of a good kind… built.

The emotions in the both of us grew stronger, we moved together, rocking to the beat of our hearts that were still racing, still in unison.

Pumping the hot blood coursing through our veins, what a wonderful feeling love is… is this love?

Is this love that I am feeling?

I have never felt anything like this before, it is enough to erase all doubts, fears and anything that may stand in my way.

Anything of which may threaten, all uncertainties, gone, to be no more.

Yes, I am in love, this is love that I am feeling.

I am full of the joyous wonders of the universe and in this moment and all others for the rest of eternity,

Love shall conquer all.
