It was late winter last year, and I remember that first message she sent me. So simple yet so powerful, "hey, what's up?" It's such a common phrase too, but it seemed more genuine with her.
I remember it like it was yesterday. Our messages becoming more persistent and our memories growing, I felt wanted by someone for once. She completed me, filling in that empty space which had been eating away at me for the past few years since my dad died, ever since that day I'd vowed to not let anyone in again. But this time it was different. She was different, I felt a connection instantly with her. We'd just clicked and it was a beauty to experience. They say that it's rare to find your soulmate; that it's quite impossible to find 'the one'. I don't believe that myth.
We understood each other, whenever I received a text from her I felt a surge of electric go through me (so you can imagine what it felt like when I found out my feelings were returned). She had such intense eyes, blue with a hint of grey, you could see the whole world in them; however they were slightly glazed over, as if she'd been broken once before.
There was something mysterious about her though which I couldn't lose. At one point she reminded me of Effy Stonem in that way, but once I got to know her I found out that she was far more. She had a lot of personality, and she had a whole load of character, and she was so beautiful to look at. It was as if she'd been carved by angels and made by God himself.
My name is Harriet, and the person I'm talking about has possibly the most beautiful name in the world.. Laura.
