| I met him online on a Discord server December 14, 2016. When I first met him I knew something was a bit off. Within a week I had developed what I assumed would be a small crush on him which I figured would eventually go away. Many people in the server we were in noticed this crush which only got worse and worse as time progressed. We had seen each other through the loss of friends and significant others over the course of about 4 months. My feelings grew stronger and stronger and on our 6 month friendaversary he told me he felt the same as I did, but wanted to wait until a year had passed. I agreed to his terms with hope in my heart that despite the distance my feelings could be openly reciprocated. A few weeks later he was dating someone new and it just destroyed me. I felt so stupid and just crushed. I broke down and stopped talking to him. He was busy with school and her so I felt that I was genuinely unneeded. His cousin had been trying to help set us up for a long time and talked to him. His cousin told me that I would have had the relationship my heart craved if it weren't for the distance. I slowly found the courage to talk to him again and he and I started talking everyday again. His cousin soon told me that he had cut off contact between him and the girl he was talking to. Summer came and he had to leave for camp. Every single day reminded me how much I missed him. I wrote him messages everyday and on the last day of his absence, I confessed my love to him. When he came home he read and reread every single message that detailed my plans to move to him and go to school together and my true feelings. He said I was worth taking the chance against distance for. In three years I will be face to face with the love of my life and I will be happy. |
