“Hello?”
“Hi…Marissa? This is John…from Florida.”
“Wow…hi.” I said breathlessly. “I’m so glad you called. How are you.”
“I’m ok. Well, not really ok. I broke up with my girlfriend.”
“I’m sorry. Why? What happened?”
“I couldn’t stop thinking of you and I didn’t think it was fair to her.”
Oh my god! He couldn’t stop thinking of me? After we only met that one night and haven’t seen each other in 2 months? That’s incredible! Incredibly wonderful and incredibly sad. We’re so far away. We can’t be together.
“Do you believe in soulmates?”
“I don’t know. Why?”
“I was reading this book and it reminded me of you. I feel like I’ve known you forever.”
“I feel that way too. Marissa…if you were here…would you want to be together?”
“Yes, of course I would.”
“Me too.”
I know I’m only 16 and people would say I’m too young to know what love is. People would also say that love at first sight doesn’t exist but it does! John and I knew the moment we saw each other that we were meant to be together. We knew we had met before, in other lifetimes. Maybe in this one we were only meant to meet in passing, maybe something went wrong and we were really meant to be forever. I don’t know but what I do know is this, we are hundreds of miles apart and missing each other.
Why is the world so cruel? Why is there love if it hurts so much?
Just me…Marissa
