Our whole relationship was so dramatic it felt like it belonged in a movie.
And in movies, the protagonists always ended up together.
Why wouldn’t we, too?

It was almost like we knew each other decades before we met.
2.My friend once told me that even in big groups, you only ever looked at me.
I think I had that problem, too.

You always smiled like you knew.
Weirdly enough, I reminded you of your first love, too.
5.We liked all the same stupid shit.
We hated all the same stupid shit.
That felt like a sign to me.
Not much later, you casually mentioned I reminded you of your mother in some ways.
I never admitted it, but you kind of reminded me of my dad, too.
7.We used to be able to read each others minds.
Id think something and no more than a moment later, youd say it.
Or youd look at me and without opening your mouth, I knew what you wanted.
Sometimes wed just glance at each other and start laughing out of nowhere.
Isnt it crazy the way that humans connect?
8.We always had conversations about things that somehow became metaphors for ourselves.
9.Our whole relationship was so dramatic it felt like it belonged in a movie.

Why wouldnt we, too?
She asked me to pull a card, and when I did, her eyes widened.
Well, theres no misreading this one, she said with certainty.
A card of romance, of hope.
Of a boy who loves you.
11.You always talked about how you couldnt wait till I met your family.
I was more nervous about the thought than you were.
What if they think Im weird?
I asked, but you shook your head.
Theyll love you, you told me.
How could anyone not?
12.There was this stupid song you showed me once when we were driving late at night.
I realized later you made a big deal about it because it reminded you of us.
Its crazy, because after that, I started hearing that song everywhere.
When youd text me, itd pop up on my playlist.
When Id drive to your house, itd start playing on the radio.
Whenever Id think of you, it was there.
I couldnt seem to escape it.
That maybe we werent supposed to end up together after all.
