An Unsent Letter To My One-day Adventure

December 2019//

Dear You,

2019 has never been a good year to me but today is a good day.

I just found myself in yet another spontaneous trip to my favorite hideaway -- 2am long drives, 3am conversations, the stillness at 4am, the sleeplessness at 5am, the sunrise at 6am, and everything else in between the 12-hr spontaneity. You ignited the romantic in me. You unselfishly gave me pure bliss. And for the first time in a long time, someone made me fly -- you gave me new wings, you made me fly to new heights. You lent an ear. You freed my thoughts. You embraced my vulnerabilities without hesitations. You took it all in. You made me dream of dreams I have long-forgotten. You made me hope for our possibilities. I was happy.

You made me happy, so happy it made me shiver. Everything was too good to be true. And you were, too.

Today you made me feel like Cinderella and you are my Prince Charming. But just like that famous fairytale, a conflict always exists. And no matter how much we try to avoid it, we both know we just can't. We both know our time would run out when the clock hits midnight.

You are definitely a last minute plot twist of my 2019. And you ought to stay just like that. I have to leave you here. You are a wonderful memory I don't want to stain. You will always be my beautiful irony.

Today is a good day.

Thank you, stranger.
