There you were. Sitting at the first table on the right at our local book café, fully captivated by the pages in front of you. I cannot imagine a better or more romantic first impression of the one I now love very, very dearly. Meeting you felt like something that must come close to divine intervention, if not just that. As if parallel, over the course of our lives, we both went through major personal changes (and a fair share of heart ache), all leading up to this very moment. Because from the moment we met, I felt as if I was exactly where I needed to be. Aligned. Life fell into place, started to make sense. Our connection was there right from the start, unmistakably, only growing stronger as we got to know each other better.

Supported by countless synchronicities, confirming this lovely and exciting feeling of being on the right track. With you I feel at home, free. Free to be and express ourselves both as individuals, with and to each other, fully. And what I love is just how expressive we both are when it comes to this, to be able to share how we feel in meaningful ways. We love to capture our love in photographs, words and poetry, the songs we share with each other. I think we both know that our connection is no everyday thing, not easy to come by. And so we experience, appreciate and express it with every fiber of our being.

I also love how attracted we are to each other, physically, mentally and spiritually. This is my first gay relationship and I never knew being in love could feel so wholesome, healthy, fun, crazy, passionate and comfortable, all at once. It is making me feel all the feels and I am so grateful I get to experience a love like this during my lifetime. It is more than I could have ever asked or wished for. Celebrating this feeling of liberation, love and unity in Sydney would be incredibly special to us.

With all my heart,
Michèle
