How We Met:
Our love story begins a very long time ago. We were both at college at the University of Hartford. He was a senior on his way out of school, and I was a freshman just beginning my college experience. We met and new right from the beginning that we had a connection with one another. We started spending time with each other and a wonderful bond started to form. It was hard knowing that he was going to be leaving school to start his life, just as I had started my college years.
Inevitably, his graduation day came, and we were no longer just a short walk away from each other on campus. We did the long distance relationship for a while, but as time went on our calls got fewer and fewer, and so did our visits with each other. The funny thing is, we never broke up, we just allowed our relationship to fade away. Even with out him in my life, I would always think about him and wonder how he was. I never reached out to him because I was always too afraid to call, for so much time had passed between us.
About a year and a half later I finally decided to contact him through the mail. Much to my surprise, and excitement, he called me. That first call was amazing. We were so happy to hear each others voices and the conversation flowed like it had never been interrupted.
We made a plan to meet with each other to catch up, and I awaited the day with nervous apprehensions. When we saw each other, it was like time stood still. Life however, is all about timing. After a wonderful lunch together, I found out he had some big news to tell me. It was that day that I found out Eric was engaged and getting married. I know this was hard for him to tell me, as he was hesitating all through lunch. I was devastated.
Putting my emotions aside, I congratulated him, and wished him the best. Since that lunch, we did remain friends, and exchanged emails and phone calls every now and again. I did get on with my life, but I never got married. I just never met the man who was my soul mate; I guess I just knew that I already had.
Fast Forward to Mother’s day weekend 2007. Eric was no longer married and we met up again. He took me out for a wonderful magical evening. Again, after so much time had passed, it still did not make a bit of difference. We both looked in each others eyes, and new that our feeling were still there. I was living in Massachusetts and he was in New York.
After a month of us traveling back and forth to see one another I moved to New York to be with him. It was like a fairytale come true. I had waited so long for my Prince Charming.
