Okay buckle in, this is gonna be a long one-

I flew to the new city he was living in, that I’d never previously been to. Showed up at his doorstep. 🤣 (he was working in this city with an old childhood friend who gave me his address lolol)

In my head and to my friends and family who knew our “story”, everyone was so supportive and “omg it’s like a lifetime movie! Go get your man!”

We had broken up the year before to “find ourselves”. And we both would reach out randomly through those years to catch up and we would mention how we hadn’t ever felt what we once had.. so when I decided to visit him, I had just accepted a job in another country and wanted to let him know I was still holding onto our love and the door would be open if he ever wanted to try again.. but I needed him to SEE me, not just keep hearing me say these things from thousands of miles away..

But when I stood at his front door I immediately felt regret. I wanted the earth to eat me up into the dirt and spit me back into my home. I felt like a psychotic ex girlfriend who found his address and stalked him??? I was too scared to even knock!!! Anyways, while im standing outside his door contemplating turning around, he was literally getting to the building, turning the corner, and boom he sees me. I’m standing in front of his door on the second floor of his apartment building. Utter shock on his face. My insides tightening with discomfort and regret, feeling shy and kind of crazy. After stopping in his tracks, he comes up the stairs. He immediately questioned how or why I ended up on his doorstep

I pathetically and embarrassingly answered “I had a layover..” 🥺. (neither of us were living in our hometown at the time and it was holiday season so it sounded plausible). he invited me in. And from one moment it was shock and numbness to seeing each other again after so long, to home, comfort and no loss of time.

We are married now. And he always tells me that me making that move was a huge step to bringing us where we are today. I got my happy ending. 🥹so kind of like real lifetime movie stuff hahaha. I don’t regret it. 🥹.
