Beloved

Picture Perfect

It all started with the picture I saw of you.

You looked like the dream I didn't dare to dream yet. It was only for a moment I saw our life flash before my eyes.

When we were face to face you were all that I could see. You were asking my friend who I am and whilst talking to someone else I could feel your eyes on me. I was not sure at first if what I felt was the same you felt but once our paths crossed I could see clearly.

You stood before me extending your hand.

"Hi, I'm Dean I don't think we've met." You smiled at me with your warm brown eyes filled with curiosity about who I am.

In those few seconds our eyes met it almost felt like we already had a past life together and I immediately knew you would change my future.

And yet these feelings were mixed with anxiety. If loving someone who I have only known for a few seconds could already make me scared of losing that person it couldn't be good for me, right?

It drove me crazy thinking about what would happen but I also didn't want to lose those innocent feelings of love and what we could be.

I heard somewhere that feeling butterflies is just a sign of not feeling safe and constantly wondering "what if". But that's not what I wanted to hear anyone else say to me.

I just wanted you.

I just wanted to love and to be loved no matter what.

Not even myself would come in my way to feeling truly happy.

I was ready to sacrifice it all for love,
because all you need is love,

right?

"You're right we haven't met yet. I am Reign, it's really nice to meet you." I shyly smiled at you and took your hand in mine.
