True love's kiss (continuation to "in love with a stranger")

Well it's been about 5 months since I met Jay. And I didn't really know what to write 'till now. It may have been 5 months since I met Jay, but it's been about a month since I last communicated with him. And you're probably wondering, what happened? What happened was, I made a mistake.
Everything went according to plan. I met him on spring break and it wasn't everything I imagined. It was better. Life is better when you don't have high expectations, because when it happens, the experience is much more liberating. I was fooled to thinking that he couldn't make it, but then he surprised me at the place me and my friend was eating. I wanted to cry so bad, but I don't know why I didn't. The night went by soo fast and it felt like I knew him forever. Throughout the night I found myself wanting to leave and get everything over with. But why? ? ? When it was time to say goodbye, it was one of the hardest things I had to do. Because in actuality we were going back to our lives. His being in Arizona and mines in Hawaii. Talking to him for soo long and not meeting him, hurt me a lot. But spending time with him, then leaving hurt me much more.
The months to follow after I left to come home was much more than I can handle. I got on that plane with something empty in me. I wasn't happy nor sad. I was just....? I didn't know what to feel. Looking out that window and seeing his home behind me and then seeing my home in front of me got me to realize that there was just too much miles between us.
I know that he loved me alot. His phone calls explained it all. But I just didn't know how to handle everything. We were thousands of miles away! The last day that I told him goodbye, was blah! I had to end it, because it hurt me and I knew that it was hurting him too.
I didn't get my happily ever after, but I did get a "true love's kiss." I always believed that you can fall in love without meeting someone, and I just proved to myself that I was right. I may not love him anymore, but I do care about him a lot. Because we have shared something that people search forever to find, A FAIRYTALE!

In Love With a Stranger

When I was a little kid I loved watching those fairytale movies of when a handsome prince and beautiful princess would live happily ever after, after their true love’s kiss. They usually don’t meet till probably a week or so before they get married but they would send letters and start to fall in love with one another. But how can myself love someone i’ve never met before? Some people believe that it’s not possible. But I’ve always believed that love can exist without meeting one another.
Once upon a time, my friend and I have planned a trip to go to her hometown during break and hang with her friends. One day she introduced me to her friend Jay on the phone and he’s supposed to be one of the people I’d meet. Instantaneously our little conversation on the phone developed into a crush towards him. And I don’t really need to physically see someone to be infatuated with him. Ultimately, what’s more important is the person on the inside. So if there isn’t the actual spending time with each other, what else is there?
Secondly, there is the more important factor, communication. Communication doesn’t need to occur with talking towards each other physically. There are other forms of communication. Email, writing, texting, and the phone are just a few examples. Getting to know one another creates a sense of connection. I've learned his desires, dreams, goals, and even pet peeves through communication. And, the more I knew about him the more I grew infatuated, with him. In fact words are a very powerful thing. I just need to trust that the words he says are true and not a lie.
I have a very hard time trusting people and trust is earned by telling the truth. Friends ask me how do I know if he’s being truthful with whom he is. But that’s the thing, I don’t know. I just took a chance and put my trust in him. There's just something about us, that makes me curious of how we will end up. It has been almost two years and nothing really has changed. He has never given me an excuse to think that he is a fake. Every conversation is more exciting that the last, growing more towards love every time.
All in all, love is possible without meeting someone. Communication and trust just needs to be consistent. As time gets closer to us meeting in spring break, anticipation grows, because I don't know what to expect. It was easier to fall in love with him knowing that he isn’t a random psycho. But, who knows, maybe he’s the prince in my fairytale, who gives my true love’s kiss in a week or so, we’ll see.

But how can you love someone you’ve never met before? Some people believe that it’s not possible. But I’ve always believed that love can exist with out meeting one another.
My friend and I have planned a trip to go to her hometown during break and hang with her friends. One day she introduced me to her friend Jay on the phone and he’s supposed to be one of the people I’d meet.

I just took a chance and put my trust in him. Because, love is like a rollercoaster, taking chances and having some ups and downs along the way. It has been almost two years and nothing really has changed. He has never given me an excuse to think that he is a fake. Every conversation is more exciting that the last, growing more towards love every time.
So, love is possible without meeting someone. Communication and trust needs to be consistent. It’s easier to fall in love with him knowing that he isn’t a random psycho. But maybe he’s the prince in my fairytale, who gives my true love’s kiss in a week or so, we’ll see.
