I’m here with you, even if you can’t see me. I’m feeling you, even if I can’t really touch you. That’s a thing about you and I that I’ve never found with anyone else: a connection that reaches to the point of becoming somewhat magical. I miss you, even though you have never been around, in the first place. However, at the same time, you have. You’re still here, even if you’re not. You’ve always been here, even if you’ve never actually been around. My days are marked by your absence and for your presence, simultaneously. Does that make any sense? Well, one thing that life has taught me is that the best things don’t need to be explained or understood. That’s how I feel about us. I never feel the need to rationalize it, because that would turn us into something ordinary. And why would I need a logical explanation, if I have you?
When I’m here with you, there’s no other place I’d rather be. The other people can wait. The whole world can wait, while I’m with you. It is as if time stopped just for us both. As if the world stopped spinning, just to give us more time. I am moved by your voice, capable of making me lose track of time and reality… That’s like your own superpower. That’s the power you have over me. And your sweet, sweet words… like caramel… They soothe my pain. They dry my tears. They make me see myself like I’ve never been capable of before. Something more. I’m something more when I’m with you… Or maybe I’ve always been, but never realized it until you came. You are the safe haven that I’ve always needed, but never truly had.
When I'm with you, I feel lighter. I feel free. As if no storm was dangerous enough to tear us apart. As if no distance was able to separate us. As if nothing could throw me down, because you’re here with me, and that’s all it matters. A lot of things changed through the course of my life… A lot of things are still changing… So many came, and so many went away… And then, there you are. Everything changed, except you. I’m so glad you’re still here. Thank you so much for that.
When I’m with you, I feel so high. And that is so strange, because I am certain that, the ones before you, always made me feel like I was drowning; running out of breath. But with you, it’s different: I feel like I’m flying. Like a bird, remember? I feel like exploring with you. I feel like learning, laughing and crying with you. I feel like running beside you and never coming back, because a journey by your side would always be the place where I should be.
You’re so far away from me… But still, you’ve reached closer than anyone else. That’s the thing about you and me that makes us so unusual and quite extraordinary: we found ourselves, without even looking. We happened in the most unpredictable way possible. We have become the escape of one another – not because we’re cowards running away; the only thing we’re running from is of a life without the other.
And finally, when I’m with you, I am myself like I’ve never been before. And I don’t want to be (with) anyone else. It's as simple as this: you and me. There’s no place I’d rather be.
