In love and we've never met

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 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. Just after our little conversation on the phone I started to develop a little crush on him. And you don’t really need to physically see someone to be infatuated with him or her. 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? 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, letter, texting, and the phone are a few examples. Getting to know one another creates a sense of connection. You can learn their desires, dreams, goals, and even pet peeves. The more I knew of him the more I grew infatuated, with him. Words are a very powerful thing. You 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. 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.
