Unexpected

Intro

People often claim to experience love at first site. They reference the moment when they first looked into that one special persons eyes and how they got lost. They'll tell you how everything around you will become irrelevant and a blur. All your attention will fixate on that person. They'll bring up how time suddenly seems to freeze. They'll mention that sparks instantaneously ignited when they first met.

When I was growing up my mom use to sit me on her lap while flipping throw a photo album and tell me, "When you love someone you'll know as soon as you first see them. There won't be a ounce of yourself that questions it, you just know."

But if I'm honest, I find it all to be bullshit. People lead themselves on to believe this perfect, cliché, fairy tale and I'm not exactly buying into it.

I didn't love you the first time I saw you. I didn't even think of it.

How was I supposed to love someone I never met?

Nothing became slow, fireworks didn't explode, and butterflies never flew around in my stomach.

You were just a boy and I was just a girl who happened to end up at the same event that night.

I never expected myself to fall so hard for you.

Our love snuck up on me similar to the way a wave crashes into you at the beach when you least expect it. We experienced our own wave of all kinds of emotions.

When we first met I considered that we could have a friendship, but never pictured this.

At some point eventually I knew that you were what I had always been looking for. I always reminded myself that love is found in the strangest places. It wasn't like the movies. Our love wasn't forced, it came out of the blue. It wasn't a romantic saga that you could binge watch on Netflix. It was natural and that's what makes it perfect.

Love didn't happen when my eyes first met yours. Like most good things it came unexpectedly.
