I absolutely hate surprises but it seems that the things you long for the most come at the most unexpected times.

Just like when I was sure that I never wanted to see your face again and here you are.

 I remember having a dream about you the night before seeing you again. I woke up thinking how absurd it would be to see you after all this time and wondering why I would have such a weird dream like that?

Later that day, at exactly 1:57 in the afternoon, your face just appeared in my line of vision. I recall thinking that I was dreaming things or just imaging things because after all that happened you were just that person who I saw on twitter occasionally, only following you out of courtesy. (a/n we all have that person don’t we?)

Not someone you see while enjoying lunch at your favourite Thai restaurant.

I knew you had caught my eye when I had looked up at you and I was just thinking about how unfortunate my luck was. Out of all the times you had to look my way, it just had to be the time I was looking right back at you.

I was in a position where I couldn’t escape.  I had to face you. As you walked towards me, I was trying to think of as possible ways to make the conversation as short as possible.

You came up to me and you sat yourself right in front of me. You picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating at my Pad Thai. You talked about why you were in the area and what you had been doing that day and it felt like old times.

I found myself starting to eat my food again too and laughing at the things you were saying.

I was so prepared to act, that I forgot that didn’t need to. You knew me better than anybody had ever known me and in that moment when you had caught my eye, you knew that I would try to act cool and try to make the encounter like it didn’t mean anything to me. So you didn’t let me rush out of the conversation and you used your smooth words to sweep me off my feet again. And what was even more surprising is I let myself be swept away by you.

In that moment I don’t know if I hated you or loved you. You made me become someone who I normally wasn’t and I really don’t know if it was for the better.

But for the most part, I’m happy. I’m happy that you saw me and you wanted to try again and I’m happy at how we ended up being together again and I’m just happy to be with you right now.

And hey who’d have known that, that absurd dream would turn out to be me becoming married to that guy who I shared Pad Thai with on that really strange and unexpected day?

I don't know if it's just me or if this sounds like a vow? AHAH idk

Anyway something I came up with. I didn't look over this at all after finishing it so if it sounds dumb and I have about a ton of spelling mistakes, I'm sorry.
