I learned on the Saturday I met you that "love at first sight" is a serious illness. It infects the body and consumes it whole, leaving nothing but happiness and affection in place of the empty, hopeless shell it once was. I learned on Tuesday that good music and Star Wars references assist the speeding up process of a first kiss, And just how good knowing that it would be your last first kiss ever felt. On Wednesday, I learned how hard it was not to say "I love you" out loud. Instead, I resorted it to silently mouthing the phrase when your head is turned. On Thursday, I learned that you like to swirl the New York Cheesecake and Red Velvet Cake flavors of frozen yogurt, just like I do. It reminded me of the concept of being soulmates. Our secret dance reminded me of a movie from the 1920s. Thank you, Louis Armstrong, and the lake in San Angelo for providing the perfect atmosphere. I learned on Friday how easy it is to talk to the person you love for seven hours. I also learned that I don't care how tired I look in the first photograph we took together, because I've been a different person since last Saturday. On the second Saturday that I met you, I learned how hard it is to watch a movie alone with you while your lips are so close to mine. I learned a lesson on willpower, and also that it's easier if we watch movies in theaters. But even theaters can't keep us from sneaking kisses every once in a while. That day I learned how easy it is to dance beautifully with the soulmate you've known only for a week. I also learned that I'm not the only person who sees the beauty I see when we are together. I glanced over your shoulder during the Jimi Hendrix guitar solo, only to see our group of friends staring at us in awe. It didn't distract me from the butterflies I had from your arm being around me. Later that same night, I learned how anxious I feel, slipping love notes into your pocket, and saying goodbye, if only for two weeks.
That week, I learned that two Saturdays is all it takes to make you certain of whom you want to spend the rest of your life with.
