Chapter ten

Harry Styles

We made it.

We met the mark, we reached the milestone and we beat the odds. Zara and I have been together for a full continuous year. This is a huge day for us.

Time with her usually flies by but something always interferes. It felt like this day would never come but it's finally here and I don't know how to feel. Happy, I feel happy overall but it's odd to think it's only been a year.

Zara says time with me is not real. That we've cosmically met each other an eternity ago and that we've been simultaneously colliding our paths in different timelines, which causes a little shock every time we touch.

She was joking but I would be lying if I said I don't believe there's a slight bit of the truth there for a second because it feels like we've known each other for eternity, yes but somehow we are still discovering new things about each other every day.

The year mark is stupid because technically the first time went on a date was three years ago but the truth is, my heart has belonged to her since the moment I laid eyes on her. That was nearly six years ago and I think about that day often.

How beautiful she looked and the way her hair simply flowed with the wind. Her shy voice and the confidence she had when stepping on the stage the first time I saw her.

Zara is a perfect combination of all my favorite things in the world. She is kind and sensitive, with the best sense of humor I know because she is not afraid to have a laugh at herself. She has the biggest heart and the most beautiful soul. The type of person you meet once in your life and you think, they can't be real.

This woman is a dream and I have been lucky and smart enough to keep her by my side, win her heart a long time ago and cherish all of her good qualities while loving her weaknesses.

If I had to use one word to describe her I would probably use sweet. The adjective seems too simple when you compare it to my girlfriend but hold a dagger to my heart and it would be the first thing that comes to mind.

She's the type of girl you take home to meet your mother, but also the one you can't wait to take home so she can be yours all night. Simply perfect.

This woman would give up anything for me and that's something I will never take for granted, or advantage of. I see in her eyes, in the way she looks at me, how much love, admiration, respect, and care she has for me, and it makes me feel like I am the luckiest guy in the world. And I am.

I wouldn't be where I am today without her. I'm not being dramatic or corny. I'm simply trying to put things into perspective. My motivation throughout those years and my current inspiration is her. I owe all of what I have to her.

Because I do all of what I do because I know it will make her proud, and happy. Seeing her happy makes me the happiest man in the universe and that's something I never want to change, because I have found my purpose in life.

I would devote my life to this woman, if she let me.

There's the tricky thing, she doesn't let me. I would have married her a long time ago. I would have bought her a house with my first real paycheck. I would have given up my career if she asked me to.

And that's the wonderful thing about Zara, her heart is so pure that she doesn't let me do any of those things because she cares about me more than she does for herself. She knows how to impose limits within our relationship, and take us at the perfect pace so we don't rush ourselves into something we are not ready for.
