The first night
It was a simple conversation that started it all. Looking back on it I seemed unattractively mundane in the virtual presence of 'The_musician'. I didn't know it at the time, but this man was one of the smartest I will ever meet.
If I had known what an honor it was to talk to him at perhaps I would have prepared myself better and thought of something more sophisticated to say than my casual "hia". Which paled in comparison to his words that flowed of the screen and engulfed my body with joy.
Our first conversation was nothing special, simply an introduction and small talk not worthy of being remembered. But remember it I do.
Within that first night we learned so much about Each other. Our relationship was a fairy tale. It was a feeling that only some can dream of. I knew this to be true when the last words on the first night of our fairy tale love story sparked a fire in my heart that has yet to fade even today.
It was forbidden, what we were doing. But it didn't stop us, nothing could. Not even the fact that he was an ocean away with a five hour time difference.
The time difference between us was shocking when I found out. And on the first night when he said he had to sleep, I was almost sad at the thought of not talking to him again. Thinking that, like all my other conversations on the app, would end when we go to bed.
I am ashamed to have thought that, for I was so wrong.
His last words to me on that very first night are words that have been forever engraved in my heart. At first these words held no significance, but now those words are my night and day. 'Well I've got to kip, it's past midnight here. By the way I never did catch your name'.
I could have ignored the message or just said good night, for he didn't ask my name. He gave me the choice to tell him, which makes the world of difference.
So I said in reply 'Anna, my name is Anna'
It was these next words that send my heart into overdrive. These next words are my light and dark. My hopes and tears. My dreams and my fears. Those words read as 'god damn Anna, what a beautiful name.'
It was at that point where I knew I was a goner. Forever in the spell of the man I call Leo. I was welcomed to a world in which the impossible happens.
If someone would have told me what would happen if I told him my name.
What my future would look like with this man in it.
How hard I would fall in love, and how much I would cry.
It wouldn't have changed anything, because to love this man as deeply as I did was an honor and a gift.
