When I was a little girl, I dreamed of a love story that felt like a fairytale, the kind that makes your heart feel at home. I never knew that in 2008, I would meet mine. I was 13, he was 12, and from the very beginning, something just clicked. We grew up side by side on Caffel Way laughing, playing, and sharing the kind of friendship that only deepens with time. Years later, in 2016, life took me to New Mexico, but no distance could dull the pull of his heart. Every song, every sunset, every quiet moment reminded me of him. When I came home for what was meant to be just a visit, we spent every day together, and I realized I didn’t just miss him, I belonged with him. In 2017, one kiss changed everything. We finally confessed what our hearts had known all along. Now, all these years later, we still laugh the same way we did as kids. Only now, we get to grow old together, holding on to the same love that started all those years ago. ❤️
