Vero Amore


                Today, I want to tell you all a story. Once upon a time, there was a girl. This girl was always shy and stayed focused on her studies. In her eighth grade year, her school went on a class trip to Washington D.C. She knew who everybody in her class was but didn’t really talk to a lot of them. During this trip, she mostly stayed with the friends she knew, but she also spent a good chunk of time with a boy she had never officially met. When they got back home, it was as though nothing happened. At the end of the year, they both left and attended different high schools. During their junior year, their mothers hung out and gave the girl the boy’s screen name. So one day the girl’s best friend invited the boy to a party. After that, the boy and girl talked all the time and became best friends. They, of course, fell for each other too. But the girl couldn’t stay in their area for various reasons. So after high school, she moved away for college. They tried to talk a bit but their lives became busy with classes and work. One night, they had a big fight and stopped talking altogether. Over time, she missed him and would occasionally reach out. The boy, however, had been hurt too badly and eventually found another love. It seemed as though the friendship were really over forever. The boy had a new life with his new love, and the girl once again focused on her school work. After college, the girl felt the need to move again. So she packed up and went to try to make it in the big city. She didn’t worry about being alone in a new place, but after a short time she became lonely. One day, she got a call from the boy’s mother. The boy had broken up with his “love”. It turns out that things had gone wrong and she was not a very nice person. The boy’s mother had always liked the girl better than the new “love”, so she called as soon as she heard. So in her lonely state, the girl reached out to the boy. To her great surprise, he actually responded to her message. They talked on the phone every night for a few weeks, but it had been so long that they had to see each other. So the boy went to visit the girl for a weekend. After some initial nervousness and awkwardness, it was as if the years apart had never happened. Although they had grown, been through a lot, and changed a bit, they meshed well together. They visited each other for many weekends, and after about four months, he started talking about moving. So they got a place together in a cute neighborhood in her big city. This week, the boy and the girl celebrated their two year anniversary. They are so happy and she loves him more than anything. The End…
Technically, this is not the end. It is the end for now. I meant to post this earlier in the week. The actually anniversary was on Monday. So I would like to say happy (belated) anniversary to the best thing that has ever happened to me. I definitely love him more than anything and look forward to our future together.
