Have you ever fallen in love through pixels on a screen?

"I can't believe long distance relationships. How can you fall in love when you can't go on dates?" They would say.

Because cuddling is nice, and for some people they really do need that contact, but have you ever stayed up until 4 a.m laughing because the person you were calling kept talking about their childhood?

Falling in love with someone's eyes is beautiful, but have you ever fallen in love with the soul behind those eyes?

Shawn first texted me off Tinder.

Romantic. I know. What's even worse is that it wasn't even him.

I was on the train, scrolling away endlessly on social medias when I got a notification from Tinder. I had only really used the app a couple times just to mess around. But then I looked at the profile, and I couldn't resist. I had to look. He was sexy. But also cute. There is a difference. I glanced at the message. Simple.

heyy.

hello shawn

you're hot.

you're straightforward

okay, maybe that was a little too soon..

a little?

my apologies.

apology accepted.

We kept going for about an hour. Then it changed.

I AM SO SORRY MISS THIS IS THE REAL SHAWN THAT WAS MY LITTLE SISTER!

Oh. It was really?

Yes. She made this account. She claims I need a real girlfriend. Someone who is good enough for me, like she knows my standards.

Does that mean I am or am not in your standards?

Oh I didn't mean it that way. Yes of course. I just didn't expect her to actually make me an account. I was just at the gym and I didn't realize she swiped my phone from my bag. Sorry.

Your sister sounds like a treat. At least she didn't pick out an axe murder for you.

Oh that's great! What a relief!

We clicked instantly. Soon numbers were exchanged. And calls every night.

The only problem was I live in London, and him in Canada. She didn't set a distance for his matches.

I can fly there. We will work it out.

Are you sure?

Of course Y/N. I really like you. You make me so happy.

You make me happy too

Not as much as you make me.

We are not starting this again!

Yes we are.

I never knew what it felt like, those butterflies you get in your stomach when someone's name pops up on your phone screen, until him of course.

My mum didn't approve of course, because how could I like a guy who she couldn't ask over for dinner?

But I didn't care.

You make me not care about what others think..

You shouldn't care what others think anyways. You are amazing. That's it.
