The night I knew I wanted to be with him forever was the night he offered to go with me to a nearby restaurant at midnight, in that dark cusp between late Friday night and early Saturday morning. I was hungry for French fries and apple pies. You weren't hungry, but you also didn't want me to be out late, on my own. So you met me at my door, and we walked side by side to the restaurant under the bright glow of the street lights.
The city streets were alive with life, cars whizzing to and fro, going who knows where. People were out and about, looking for ways to have fun on the weekend. Clouds were thick and gray, but you could still see stars peeking out, shining proudly, the moon a silvery whole of light high in the sky.
Taking in the sight of your silvery blonde hair and blue eyes walking beside me...I felt like I could walk on air.
You sat across from me and watched me eat my food, bite by bite. I tried to offer you some, but you wouldn't take any - you said you were fine. "I'm hear to make you that you eat your food and that you get back home safe and sound" - that's what you said. You watched me with this soft smile, your blue eyes so calm and soothing, a healing balm to my soul. You could be so mysterious sometimes - a handsome of enigma difficult to solve - but in that moment, there was no mistaking your care for me.
Though you stole a few friends when you thought I wasn't looking. I did see it - I just was too happy to care about what you did. You deserved them. I never bothered to tell you that.
Do you know what else I didn't get to tell you? That I never wanted that night to end.
We took our sweet time getting back to my house. It wasn't far away, but it felt like we walked for hours. You told me to call you whenever I wanted to go out for a late night snack again. I promised you I would...and I did.
Now, every time we go out for midnight snacks and you steal some from me, I think of the first time we went out together. You stole more than just a few fries from me that night.
You stole my heart as well.
