Do you ever see someone in your life and just think 'God....I want you in my life forever'
When I saw you, your tall figure and dark jungle of hair playing around your face, your green eyes highlighted by the sun, I knew, I knew right then and there, that I needed you in my life. I knew you had to be mine, whether it be my best friend, a distant friend that I could turn to when everyone turned their backs on me, or the love of my life, of which I can't survive a day without.

We were on a bus, and you sat near me, on the other side of our mutual friend in fact, of whom introduced us. This wasn't the first time I saw you, but to talk about that,  we would go back months, through all the times I admired you, getting on and off the bus every day. But we don't need to explore my creepiness.

My dear you were so shy that when I asked you a question, the butterflies taking flight in my stomach, you simply mumbled your response. You smiled. And at that moment everything went numb, and my sight went blurry and all I could me was you. Your beautiful smile and soft eyes made my butterflies turn into storming elephants and that, that smile, those eyes, that's what made me fall. I fell for you before I even knew your name. And I thought about you everyday and needed to see you more.

I asked or mutual friends about you, a lot of times, and when you stopped catching the bus I was determined to find you again. Or friends informed me that you caught another bus in the mornings. I was on a mission for you and I didn't even realise. Every morning after that I woke up a little earlier, got ready quicker, left earlier, so I could track up and over the hill to a bus stop that you're bus went past, just so I could see you again.

The first time I caught your bus, I had gotten on before you, and I was sitting waiting for you. I'd done my hair extra pretty that day, trying to impress you. You got on the bus, and as much as I was freaking out inside, I tried my best to stay composed and keep cool.

I was watching intently as the bus approached your stop, and watched as it stopped and the doors opened, and you stepped on. As soon as you got on the bus, I looked away, pretending as if I hadn't noticed you, as to try and keep cool. You walked up to me and I looked up at you, and said "oh hey" and moved over for you (Even though I had already made sure there was plenty of room for you to sit with me). I was trying so hard to stay calm.

We spoke and laughed about silly things, and we became friends.  Every morning, I got up earlier, left earlier, and kept seeing you every morning, with my butterflies.

My dear I fell for you hard and still haven't gotten up. I plan on laying here in love with you for a very long time.

I love you x
