Dear Camila,
If I could choose a moment in time to go back and just relive it over again, I would choose the day I met you. The day our eyes first met. The day you smiled at me so sweetly. The day my whole life was about to change. But until time travel is invented, which I assume won't be anywhere near my time, I guess I'd just have to accept that that I couldn't go back and do it again. But in return, I could recreate that moment the best that I could. And that's exactly what I did.
For our fifth anniversary as a married couple, I took you back to that exact same stadium, in that exact same state to see Ed Sheeran. I bought you a shirt when we first arrived and then we went and took our seats after getting you a couple slices of pizza. You devoured the pizza slices like your life depended on it. You smiled at me afterwards with a small drop of grease dripping down your chin. I threw my head back in laughter and wiped it away before pecking your lips.
I can still remember the look on your face when the concert finally started and up on the stage came Taylor Swift who had been touring with Ed at the time. Your eyes lit up the whole room with that small little gleam of light in your eyes. It was like looking at a child on Christmas morning, and trust me, I knew the look, we had three of our own at home.
That whole night I didn't even watch the concert, I just watched you as you swayed from side to side to the music. I watched as you jumped up and down in excitement when Ed would sing another favorite song of yours. No wonder I was so in love with you.
I remember one moment near the end of the concert, Ed started playing kiss me and you turned towards me and grabbed my hand. We started sway from side to side, your arms around my neck and my hands on the small of your back. It was the one moment when I got to relive the moment when we first met. I closed my eyes and thought back to that moment when my eyes met yours. It was a favoritememory of mine. One that I would keep in the back of my mind for those rainy days.
After the concert we went back stage and met Ed himself. You cried a little and hugged him tight. You whispered something in is ear and he nodded. We took a picture with him and left to start our journey home.
I still have no idea what you whispered in his ear. It's a secret that is still kept between you two. I stillhave the picture though and it rests on my nightstand. I smile whenever I see that sweet smile of yours. You were so happy and so young. So free and so curious. I will always picture you that way. It's burned in the back of my mind like sharpie on a white wall or chocolate on a beautiful sundress. But of course everything we did together is burned in the back of my mind. They are just too precious to forget.
Sincerely,
Lauren Jauregui
