A year and a half ago, I fell in love. Things didn’t work. We went our separate ways and dated other people. A year later, we found our way back to each other. We were best friends and kicked it off right off the bat. I was so thankful to have you back in my life, even though it wasn’t the same as it used to be.

The problem is that I fell in love again. I shouldn’t say ‘again’ actually because I don’t think I ever stopped. But all you wanted was friendship, nothing more, and nothing less. I still stayed.

For months, we remained friends, even though I wanted a relationship. I guess something is better than nothing, right? Finally, you fell for me. It felt like I waited forever. It was a new beginning. Maybe last time, we were the right people for each other, but the timing was off. Everything feels so right this time. Waiting for you was so worth it.

I guess it’s true, “If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it’s yours. If it doesn’t, it was never meant to be.” After the hell that we went through what seems like forever ago, we still found our way back to each other, and we’re stronger than ever. Fate really does work in mysterious ways, and everything truly does happen for a reason.

It is such a weird, yet good feeling to be happy again. We deserve this. We deserve each other. We deserve to be happy. We both suffered from awful relationships after we broke up previously, thinking maybe we’d be better off without each other, but boy did that backfire.

I can’t deny that this is going to take some getting used to. It’s weird to go from dating someone, to finally getting over them and being best friends, to falling in love with them and dating them again. But it’s a good kind of weird. I haven’t been this happy in a long time. Neither of us has. We both forgot what it’s like to be in a healthy relationship, rather than one that you’re only in because you’re trapped.

Love is a storm. It is rain and lightning and thunder. Love is also after the storm too. Don’t forget about that. It makes you stronger. And I would not want to survive a storm with anyone other than you. We could try this a thousand times, and I’d still be willing to try a thousand and one. That’s what love is when it’s the right person.

This is a brand new beginning for us. We have both learned from our mistakes and I believe that we could be better for each other now. It pained me when I lost you, and I didn’t ever want to love anyone else. Now, I get to love you all over again. Let’s start over. Let’s make it work this time.
