You: work too much and give too much of yourself to everyone around you. You’ve worked tirelessly for years to ascend, to build something, to provide. Now you want something, someone, just for you. Flights alone are long. Empty luxury hotel rooms are eerily quiet. Meals are quick and joyless. Every time the dreaded phone buzzes it’s another crisis, another fire to be put out. It feels like everyone hears you, but no one listens. Lately you’ve thought to yourself, could that tired cliché actually be true? It is kind of lonely at the top…

Me: the college crush that got away. The one you still dream about. The lingering glance across a room full of people. Your confidant. The warm body beside you. The exciting affectionate companion that restores color to your world. You tell me things you won’t tell anyone else: your ideas, anxieties, and dreams. Why explore a foreign city alone when you can do it with me by your side? I am well read, well travelled, and hold a degree from a top University. I am beautiful, curious, inspired, witty, and kind.

I have big goals for my life, but an empty space where you belong. I covet your guidance, wisdom, and generosity.

So thank god we’ve found each other. Life is funny, isn’t it? Sometimes it brings you just what you were looking for.
