Floating

Ever felt like all of your hardwork and patience might actually pay off? It's funny, of all the things I've done with myself, I never thought I would get that feeling from something so simple as a second chance at something.

I've spent the better half of the last year and a half without the person I realized too late was who I can only consider to be my soul mate... someone who understands the things I say, can answer my questions when I haven't even asked them, and still gives me butterflies in my stomach when I see their name in my inbox. A person that understands the humour behind the word "larvee" and "Chomp'd!"

I was stupid once, and took all that for granted... and there was a time when I thought I had lost it all. I tried to fill that void, but it always wasn't quite full. I said that I wasn't waiting, but I was... at least part of me was.

I've always wanted one of those stories, you know the ones... the story that, when someone tells you about how they met, or got together you get a tear in your eye and you say "awww". My grandparents had one of those stories... they met and then spent the better part of 5 years apart, as my grandfather was in the war. They wrote letters to each other everyday while apart, and when my grandfather returned to Canada, they got married 2 weeks later. They spent the next 52 years together, until my grandfather passed away.

And now maybe I have one of those stories... it was one of those stories before all that has happened, but now it's only better.

I'm still nervous though. Nervous that it won't all work... nervous that I'll make the same mistakes again.

But right now I'm really enjoying this feeling... that "new love" feeling, but it's easier than that, because I know this person like I know myself... I love this flirting, the anticipation, the not knowing what will happen.

Someone please dont burst my bubble, I don't wanna come back down
