Letter Five

Hi you, 
You know this, but I love to think of the first time we ever met. I cannot believe it was two years ago!  Everything is so clear it is like I am watching the memories in a movie theater with your surround sound speakers. 


I love the way you dragged all your friends to the pizza place me and my friends always ended our Friday nights at. 

 
I love the way the multicolored beads that you got at a party clinked against your chest with each step you took. 

 
I love the way we found out we were both pharmacy major drop outs as you walked me to my apartment building. 

 
I love the way you ranked your favorite milk alternatives as we stood outside my door stalling before saying goodbye. 


And now I can see us a few days later, meeting in the library to “study”. We talked about our families, though you somehow remembered everything I had said on that 10 minute walk home. I can admit it now - I was, and still am - impressed. I can see us walking to your apartment that is now my apartment so that you could show me your rock and camera collection. 


I can see us playing Wordle as we sat in your bed as we compared what kind of music we liked. I can see us turn to each other as we talk about our futures. You, being a year ahead of me, talked about grad school in Colorado. I helplessly admitted to having absolutely no idea what I wanted in the future. 

 
If only that girl knew that she was looking her future right in the eyes.  

Two years later and you are everything I ever could’ve wanted and more. And most definitely worth the wait. 

 
I love you most (+1).
