when.
the moment when i saw you for the first time across the room, down the street, in the hallway, at the coffee shop, across the light in your car. wherever im destined to meet you, the moment when i did...
i knew you.
i knew you would love my smile and the way my eyes light up at the sight of a twinkling star in the night sky. i knew you would hold my hips and lead me through the dance floor that was our kitchen one day. i knew you would rest your head in the crook of my neck and smile against my skin. i knew you would whisper you loved me in the early hours of the morning when you thought i was asleep. i knew you would cry because you loved me.
i knew you would put your head on my shoulder when we watched the sun set together from our balcony. i knew you would understand everything i was feeling from an expression. i knew we would sit on our bed, tangled in each other's arms. i knew i would open my eyes and see your face for the rest of my life.
i knew you listened to music to fall asleep. i knew you loved it when it rained. i knew you had closed your eyes and dreamed about me a million times before. i knew you loved the winter. i knew your fears, your joys. i knew what made you happy and how many times you had cried yourself to restless sleeps at night. i knew you had waited your entire life to find me.
i knew you.
and when your brown eyes met mine, you knew too.
we had never met, but we knew.
and the truth was, i loved you before i met you.
