I met him at the end of my first week here. That night changed my life, and I knew it then, just not why. We became fast friends, faster than with anyone I've ever known. We just understand each other so effortlessly. From that day on (besides 2 weekends where he went other places) we have hung out every day. He respected my relationship with no problem, and didn't try to make any passes at me, which made me respect him even more. We stayed up till 3-4am many nights, just talking, walking, watching TV, etc. We would exchange compliments, but different kinds of compliments, like one day I told him I see something very special about him and I want him to be a part of my life. He told me that I was perfect, and that I have everything all figured out. (Big contrast to my ex, who always said I thought I knew everything) He appreciates & likes that I know what I want from life. Our 2 months of knowing each other feels like so much longer; we already refer back to memories we had. The most profound thing to me is how we both refer to the first day we met. He has already changed my perspective on life. He taught me to slow down & enjoy things, and to let life take you where it takes you. Throughout this period of time, I held back how I acted towards him, because I was still in a relationship I was trying to save. I didn't talk to him as much as I wanted to, I would run (not literally, but you know what I mean) away sometimes when he started talking to other people and I was with him because I didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea (people were asking if we were together) and because I didn't want to interfere with any girls he may have been trying to talk to. In my mind I kept him at a friend level, although my heart & soul were telling me that it was something far more than that, something that I've never experienced before in life. I also realized that if my ex did not soon do SOMETHING (propose, come down here with me, something to show he was serious about being with me forever), that this new thing would inevitably run its course. We don't even try, it's just happening right before us, and we're letting it happen now. I'm not jumping into a rebound relationship or anything of the sort, I'm just doing whatever feels natural and right. Everything will turn out the way it should. I believe that he was put into my life at this particular moment in time for a reason. I have never felt this way about anyone, EVER. I thought I knew the ultimate, until it got better.
