You were my fortune cookie, the longer half of a wishbone.
You were my four-leaf clover, my wishing star.
I dont give fate or fortune the credit whenever I achieve a goal Ive worked so hard for.

Luck is not built for the strong-willed individuals, I used to say.
It just wasnt for me.
But you came along and changed the whole game.
Ever since you arrived in my life, I have always feltsodarnlucky.
I wasnt even looking for love when you came knocking on my door.
But there you were anyway, in your favorite sweater and worn-out sneakers.
You arrived and never left.
Falling for you was effortless.
I never had to fight for your attention for you gave it to me even without my seeking.
You let me fall in love with you slowly.
Slowly like the tender caress of the wind on the ocean.
Slowly like the way your fingers slide through the tendrils of my hair when you kiss me.
You let me breathe in your love.
You never rushed me.
You were my fortune cookie, the longer half of a wishbone.
You were my four-leaf clover, my wishing star.
You were the first snowflake on a winter day.
You made me love unplanned trips as long as they were with you.
You were the only reason I liked spontaneity.
Becauseyou came and I have never felt so lucky in my life.
On days I felt undeserving of love, you let me feel like I am always worthy of it.
I hope you know this.
