Hello

As I write this personal ad to you I am overcome with a longing for the life we had together. You don’t know me yet, but I already know everything about you. Your fears and dreams and even that thing you do when you do when you feel sad and alone. I’m not a stalker or anything, I just have a different way of seeing time than you. Where you see beginnings I see endings. I already know that you’ll respond to this ad, what you’ll order at the coffee shop when we first meet, the color of your eyes, and the nervous fumbling the first time we make love. I know when I’ll propose and the day we get married. The memories of our life are something you’ll look forward to having but I already have them all. It breaks my heart to know that you think this is first thing I’ve ever said to you, when we’ve really already told each other volumes. At the same time I can’t help but feel happy for you. For me our time together has reached it’s final chapter, but now you get to experience all the wonderful things we’ve done together. I just wanted to take this time to thank you for everything you’ll do, and to say... hello.
