“Love is all a matter of timing”
I wish I had met you sooner.
He uttered these words softly as we floated weightlessly under the warm white sheets of his California king bed.
I stared into his cosmic blue eyes, lost in a state of dreamlike wonder. Wishing I had indeed known him my whole life, I nevertheless managed to let my voice whisper the sound of:
“I’m glad we didn’t.”
His eyes immediately asked me the unspoken “why?”
I gave him a delicate smile and answered:
“If I had met you at an earlier time, I don’t think we would have worked out.
Even a year ago, I was a very different person. I was a previous me who hasn’t yet gone through the memories and heartbreaks that shaped me into who I am today.
I cared about different things, things that don’t matter at all anymore. I was naive, selfish, and ignorant.
I don’t think you would have loved the me from a year ago. I don’t think the me from a year ago was mature enough to see, let alone appreciate, the qualities in you.
“I’m lucky I hadn’t met you then because I know we have walked into each other’s lives at precisely the right time.”
“Love is all a matter of timing. It’s no good meeting the right person too soon or too late.” — 2046
