A Thousand Years of Love: A Serendipitous Encounter
When Christiana Perri said;
And all along I believed I would find you. Time has brought your heart to me
A Thousand Years by Christiana Perri
She probably was talking about my friend. I did not know I will have to move through the seven seas and rivers just to get to meet him. I had decided to move several distances away from home and start all over again. I did not know time was going to bring his heart to me as well. And it was a mere toilet roll that time used to bring him to me. I had stepped out to buy one and I met him in the neighborhood. I did not know he exists before then. I barely stepped out of my apartment so it was near impossible for me to know who stayed close or far off of me.
On this evening, I lifted my head and found him coming in the opposite direction and the first thing I did was to question how an opposite sex could be that beautiful. I am using beautiful because he's indeed beautiful, giving him the adjective, handsome will not do justice to his appearance.

I did not know I caught his attention too because I pretended to not see him while I tried to walk briskly and pass. Once he stopped me by saying hi, I did not know when my lips betrayed me with the words, "How is it possible that you are more beautiful than I am and you are a guy"?
I saw him blush and tried to return the compliment by outrightly rejecting my words and telling me that I was the most beautiful one between the two of us.
These days I catch myself imagining him to be a lost sibling of mine and every time I voice out my concerns he debunks it by threatening to remove my head if I say them again. Yes, I wouldn't want to hear that he's my brother neither would he want to hear that I am his sister. This wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that we had gotten physical but mostly because I'm not sure I'll be able to stand seeing him with another woman and I am guessing he feels the same way about seeing me with another man.
He is so kind and I think it's the reason he is too beautiful to behold. So, Christiana Perri singing, A Thousand Years always bring his memories to my heart. The way I feel about him is exactly the way Christiana says in her lyrics. It feels as though I have loved him for a thousand years and I am willing to love him for a thousand more.
Maybe the fact that I think he could be my brother is mostly because, in our past lives, we had something to do with each other. I know you do not believe in reincarnation but I do. Whenever I have my Déjà vu I don't always feel it's Déjà vu instead I always thought it's because I have lived that part of my life before. I am guessing the love of my life had been the love of my life in a past life and this could be the only reason his beauty matches mine. I am saying matching because I still haven't been able to verify which of us is the most beautiful.
When I first met him I wasn't ready to be in any relationship. But staring at him that evening with all of his beauty I couldn't wait to have him all to myself. I suddenly became selfish and did not want to allow another woman to have him. All of my doubts about being ready and getting into a relationship like Christiana says in her lyrics disappeared when I set my eyes on this beautiful human.
Time indeed stands still when I am with him, and often I have to fight with my spirit to allow him to go off and fulfill his destiny. I know that if it was within my power to hold him down and keep him with me all the time, I would have done it. But it's the highest level of selfishness to do that and I have learned that if you love someone you will always let them do what makes them happy. This is why I allow him to be himself and do what he wants even though that means being far away from me more times than I get to see him.
I think I am Christina Perri's twin because I die every day when I can't see him or I have to wait up for his call. Even during the weekends that I know he will be with me soon, the waiting period suffocates me in inexplicable ways.
What the future holds for us I can't tell. Maybe he will wake up tomorrow and doesn't want me anymore, I don't know. But I'm prepared to live in the moment and follow it through for as long and as far as it wants to go. Why? This is before I'll love him for a thousand years.
Maybe there are loves that last for a thousand years... For sure there are!
What a coincidence, I listened to this song today in the car, and remember that I also played it on the piano, almost a thousand years ago (ok, not years, not even days, so maybe a thousand moments ago) :)
This evening, while having dinner in one cool place we talked to our son, about how important is to live in the moment. Not in the past and not be worried (without reason) about the future.
Now she's giving me hope 🥺🙏🏿
Haha, how the spirit gossips, I don't remember how I ended up with this song on my device but I do know I played it frequently this week, before I knew what was happening, the lyrics started speaking to me...
This was a piece of good advice because it's difficult for us to stop freaking out about the past and to stop ourselves from being anxious about the future. We need to learn to be more present and live in the moment.
I'll learn to do it more and I hope your lovely son will do too.

Oh, thank you. I listen to this song very often. And what she means is that she feels a very great love, an infinite love. To die and be reborn, to die and be reborn loving. That's what it's about. An orgasm is a death and a rebirth. This Christina Perri song is like one.
You live that love. Don't think of anything else but enjoying the moment he's by your side.
Amazing 😍
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain. Now I am convinced enjoying the moment with him is the right thing to do. Thank you again 🥰
