When I first met you I knew I had already known you. It was as if my soul was drawn to yours and I automatically felt this warmth just radiating from you when we were finally in front of each other. It was like I had found something I had no idea I had lost in the first place. At first, after all these years, I couldn't find the right words that "fit" because none of them made any sense, at least not for us. However, now, I realize that the word I was looking for was "home." There's a Danish word that surprisingly captures that feeling exactly. The word is "hygge" and it doesn't have an exact definition in English but it can be summed up as being a "coziness, charm, happiness, ‘contentness’, security, familiarity, comfort, reassurance, kinship, and simplicity." You are all of those things to me and for me. When we met, there was this familiar feeling I felt within seconds of meeting you and I knew it was our souls begging to be together. We have this tortured, yet harmonious, type of love that is filled with both suffering and euphoria all at once, somehow, but it feels like that's how it has to be with us. It doesn't sound like the ideal situation, and it actually sounds like a terrifying position to purposely put yourself in, but that's why you're my person; the person I was meant to encounter. Our love is agonizing and chaotic but it's also inspirational and a subtle serenity that sets my heart ablaze that no one else can give me. You are my heartache and my happiness and we need that combination to survive. You are the person on the other end of my red string of Fate and this is our predetermined destiny; created by something out of our control and simply meant to be. We were bound together through forces greater than we can imagine and born connected long before we ever physically saw one another. That's how I knew I had known you; when the earth took a brief pause once the time had finally arrived for us to ignite a fire inside the other that would lead us craving more, through destruction and ecstasy, and that's what I tell the world about us.
