Life has a funny way of working itself out. One minute you’re a pile on the bathroom floor, the next you’re bursting with happiness. I firmly believe that every person, every situation, every relationship is brought into our lives for a very clear and specific reason. Of course, it’s not so clear while it’s happening, but as I said it all works itself out.

To meet someone who knows you inside and out at first glance is a rare and amazing experience that still has me in awe every single day. Someone who tells you things about yourself that you didn’t even know. That feeling of someone looking at you like you’re magic, studying you, not just looking at you, but seeing you, it’s indescribable. For someone who is usually quite adept with words it gets frustrating and confusing when, for the first time in my life, someone literally leaves me speechless.

All I want to do is tell him what I feel. Tell him that when he looks at me, the world falls away and it’s just us. When he touches me, my skin feels illuminated. When he wraps his arms around me it’s the most beautiful I’ve ever felt. And when he looks at me, oh God, when he looks at me. I’m seen. I’m truly and absolutely seen. And that doesn’t scare me.

I hope he knows that he’s magic to me. That when he sleeps and I catch a glimpse of him a smile fills my entire face. That when I lay my head on his chest I feel like nothing can touch us. That all of his insecurities are things I find the most beautiful about him. And that when we’re intertwined, wrapped up in each other, it’s a love that even time will lie down and be still for.

For me, it will always be him.

You are magic.
