You Are My Favorite Accident

I met you when I wasn’t looking, I bumped into you when I was looking for someone else and I met you when I was still trying to pick up the pieces. But as soon as I met you, I knew that there was something about you that was going to change something about me. I knew from the moment you said hello that we won’t be saying goodbye anytime soon.

Isn’t it funny how our hearts just give us cues about certain people? How they decide to swiftly unlock themselves from their own chains and open up to someone they just met.

And from the very first day you unlocked my heart, from the very first day I knew my heart wanted you.

Maybe accidents aren’t really accidents, maybe these coincidences are strategically planned so that two people can find each other when they were desperately searching for one another, or maybe they’re planned so that two people can find each other when they were desperately searching for someone else.

Maybe they serve as a reminder that someone out there is so much better for us, someone out there is exactly who we need to forget about the ones who took us for granted.

And I’m still trying to figure out which category you belong in because up till now, I can’t fit you in a box, I can’t squeeze you in a criteria — you’re one of a kind — you’re someone special.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m just fantasizing because the hopeless romantic in me always takes over, but then no fantasy can feel so real, no fantasy can move my heart the way you do and no fantasy can be so tangible, so perceptible and so solid.

I don’t know where the road may take us but I’m enjoying the drive.

I don’t know where you’re taking me but I know I trust you to lead the way, I trust you to take me to all the places that you love and all the places that you used to drive to alone. 

And even though I suck at hiking, I’m ready to climb a mountain with you, I’m ready to be on top of the world with you.

I met you when I wasn’t looking, I bumped into you when I was looking for someone else, but I found you and you turned out to be better than anyone I was looking for.
