An Airplane from Me to You.

Our hands are like magnets. I didn't realize how lonely my hands were over break. Only now that I have you in my arms again am I allowing myself to know how long a month really was away from you.

"I love you."

I honestly love hearing you say that. As a hopeless pathetic romantic, of course I have seen and watched chick flicks and hear other girls about their experiences and read about things and blah blah blah.
What I didn't know is that I could experience all of these things. My head spinning, getting flustered, becoming clumsy when saying goodbye that I run into walls and people and anything else because I'm not paying attention because I don't want to separate my eyes from yours.
Isn't it silly? Part of me tells me that, and the other part just laughs it off and becomes amused. There was one day, before we had officially started dating, when we spent an entire day together. Now just so you know, I've always wanted to do little things with someone special. Little things like walks in the rain where I would someday get to share an umbrella with someone I really care about. Or, watching the clouds and seeing what they are, stargazing, playing in the leaves, little things like that. Well, on this day everyone else just so happened to be busy except for the two of us, so we ended up hanging out. The day was so nice, that we ended up watching a movie outdoors. It was a really nice fall day, and the leaves were just starting to fall down, so whenever the wind would blow we would play with the leaves and at one point we took a break from the movie and watched the clouds and pointed out pictures and shapes and such. Then, we went to the library and took a study room, to finish the movie because my battery on my laptop died and then we drew on the chalkboard and then looked through a bunch of pictures and learned more about each other and then had dinner later.
I'm bringing this up now because today we were talking and remembering this day. I told him that day was one of my favorite days of last semester, because that's really what I felt. There was silence, and for a moment it was like we were transported back to that time. Then, after awhile, I said jokingly "are you reminiscing now?" and he laughed and said "I was just remembering what I was thinking during that day." Then I became curious and asked him "what was it?" and he said "that I should ask you out."
That made me really happy. Then, on our way to Mass, I asked him "Do you want to know what was running through my mind that day?" and he said "What?" then I replied "that was the day I realized I really liked you."
I still remember my roommate talking to me and asking me about it because sometimes, especially when it comes to matters like this, I do my best not to read myself. But, this day sparked something that was slowly growing and creeping it's way into my heart that I tried at first to cover up and ignore, but it became inescapable.

It really is interesting. But, I am so grateful and I feel so blessed that God would allow someone like me to meet someone like him. Thank you for allowing us to walk this path together, and whatever happens, I know You'll lead us. We will continue to follow You.

Thank you. <3
