We always got each other

It is funny how life really goes and after so many turns you find your way to the thing that was really meant to be. I remember being out of the picture for a really long time. I remember me traveling and doing some soul search while I was seeking for a better future. I did realize at some point how much I missed been home; how much I missed the people I grew up with. But also seemed like I was doomed to this new cycle in a whole different place and there was nothing I could do. I also remembered him and how weird circumstances brought us two together making us fall in love the second we met. I had to leave and there was no option. With my new life came new horizons and new responsibilities. At first, I kept in touch with everyone who was close to me, even him. But as the months went by it seemed like I started to fade from their lives and they started to fade from mine. I was so lonely but focused. I dreamt multiple times about coming back home. I had pictures with me to remind me why I was there and this long cheesy emails that he sent me the first couple of months. I was falling into pieces but trying to keep myself together after all. It was the least I could do; for me and for them.

  After 4 long years of me being anything but myself the time to go home finally arrived. I was desperate to land. I finally did and everything was just like I remembered, in the exact same place. My friends were still my friends, the exact same goofy humans I once knew. But him, I couldn't wait to see him after so long. I couldn't wait to look him in the eyes and hug him, feeling every single heartbeat coming out of his chest letting my heart know how much I meant to him. I asked my friends how he was doing before seeing him. They told me he talked about me in present tense like I never left his side; that he did not find any other girl to fulfill him the way I did. Like that, I went home and patiently sat outside my door waiting for him to pass by like he used to do. After a long waiting I saw him pass by, he was so intensely full of life but he didn't notice me which seemed weird to me but maybe I just had to try another way to surprise him. So I went inside and was getting ready to take a shower when this old landline telephone ringtone sounded and brought me so many memories. I answered and heard a voice cracking on the other side of the line saying: "I guess you know is real when you feel what I feel inside of my heart every time I see you, girl" I was speechless; he did see me. He kept going: "You looked so beautiful, I am sorry I didn't say hi but I didn't even know if it was real..." he said as he was about to burst in tears. "Let's meet at the park in five. I can't wait to hug you" and hanged the phone as I started to burst into tears, tears of happiness.

  As I was arriving at the park I had the chance to see him from the distance and this time he was glowing; he was insanely glowing and overall happy and in that exact moment he saw me. I saw that after a long time he started feeling again that thing that he couldn't find anywhere else and he remembered how he really felt about me. I got near him and we stood in front of each other for a couple of seconds and suddenly gave each other the most intense hug you could ever give. And yes, I felt his heart beating uncontrollably, or was it mine? We kissed each other and he whispered in my ear: "...don't ever leave me again..."  I felt the weirdest sensation ever because after all we kept loving each other like the first day and choosing each other no matter what; through thick and thin. We always got each other and the distance was just an excuse.
