"I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once." - John Greene
No one sees love coming; that's the tricky part. It hits you hard and knocks you right on your butt. Sometimes it's perfect. It's crazy, it's real, it's everything you ever wanted. But sometimes, it's not. Sometimes, you fall in love so quickly that you don't even have time to stop and breathe. That's the way I fell for him.
It started the way all relationships do, with the honeymoon phase. We became so enamored with each other it was like the rest of the world didn't exist. He consumed me and my life, and I loved every minute of it. We spent every waking minute together for a short period of time, then everything changed. He said it was the distance, but in reality, it was something so much more.
I fell in love with the right person, at the very wrong time.
Falling in love with the right person at the wrong time is the most heart-wrenching feeling. There's just something off. All you know is that you love this person, you would walk through fire, move mountains, and do everything in your power to be with them, but you can't. It's like having your cake and eating it too, except you actually cannot eat it.
Falling in love with the right person is like feeling this weight lifted off your shoulders, because you know they are there to help carry it. But falling in love at the wrong time means you're still carrying all that weight, but instead, you're constantly short of breath.
Falling in love with the right person at the wrong time is nothing but bittersweet. There's a fire and a passion, but something gets in the way. And that makes the fire and passion burn deeper.
The right person at the wrong time can be tough when it comes to closure, because your main reason for moving on probably just consists of "it's not the right time." So you stick around, hoping that the right time is tomorrow night or next week, but it's not. And nothing is more painful than waiting. So don't wait around.
Move on with your life and be happy. Don't wait around because this person might be the right person, and they might be the one. Go out, make mistakes, and don't let the past love hang over your head. I know it can seem hard now, but you are capable of moving on. The right time might come around in a few years, but it might not. Don't waste your time, because timing's a bitch, and it might never be right.
