Although Miracle and I officially met in high school, our paths had been crossing well before then. I believe in soul mates & divine intervention, and I’ve always said that our souls were trying to come together before we’d ever met. We went to the same middle school for a year or so without being fully aware of each other. I vaguely remember him as being this loud & goofy guy, but never gave him a second thought. In high school we crossed paths again when his car broke down and he had to slum it on the Metro bus with the carless kids. The bus ride was over an hour long and our group of friends would laugh and clown the entire way. He was still loud, goofy, and one of the funniest people I’d ever met, but i also noticed how caring, sincere, and protective he was. I couldn’t describe the feeling at the time, but i always felt safe with him. He felt like home. Needless to say, my crush on him was instant, but I had a boyfriend at the time so we didn’t pursue anything. After high school we kept in touch via social media, but it was never anything further than liking a few pics or us cracking jokes at each other in the comments. One day he sent me a DM and he told me that he’d always been attracted to me and wanted to take me out on a date. One thing that i fell in love with about Miracle was his sense of humor. On our first date, we laughed so much that our stomachs were starting to cramp. We talked and laughed for hours until the restaurant staff kicked us out. We’ve been together ever since.
