in less than a second

Dear Soulmate,

I thought I saw you today. I was crossing the street at a red light when I looked up and through a see of strangers your eyes caught mine. It was just a fleeting moment. Then it was gone and we both walked away, lost into the shuffle of city life.

It was as if we shared an entire relationship in less than a second.

This must mean that when we finally do meet, looking at you for even a minute will feel like a lifetime. That’s the thought that carried me happily home through the misty Friday afternoon.

I cannot promise that I will write to you every day, but I can promise that I will be thinking of you every moment and those in between. You are always with me, somehow, despite how crazy that may seem.

All my love, R
