When Andrew and I had met he quickly became my best friend, I instantaneously felt a pull towards him, and I loved how comfortable he made me feel. I felt like I could trust him with my heart and soul and knew that he wouldn’t take it for granted. He made me feel so special then and even now after all these years. When I first said I love you to Andrew it surprised us both. Andrew was dropping me off at my sister Breanna’s house after hanging out for a couple of hours. Just as I was opening the door and saying goodbye, I said “I love you.” Shocked by what had just came out of my own mouth I then followed it up with “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to say that out loud, I’m just going to go, talk to you later.” I quickly climbed out of his truck, got into my car and just sat there. It was like I had no control of the words, they just got blurted out. I realized that my heart loved him and my brain just let the words slip out. A day later Andrew had picked me up and took me to work at Walmart, then as I was getting out of his truck to walk in he said “I love you” but I had already been in the process of closing the door. It took about 10 seconds for me to realize what he had said, I opened the door again and said “wait what did you say?” He said “I said I love you” and I said “I love you too.” This time my heart, my brain, and every piece of me knew exactly what I was saying and that moment that was the first time I truly felt like this is my person. I knew he was the one that I was meant to spend my life with. I knew that he was my soul mate, and that this is what true love feels like. 🤍
