Sure, the word perfect has a set definition. However, from person to person, that definition tends to vary. For one individual, the "perfect" slice of pizza could be covered in onions, green peppers, bacon, and maybe even some anchovies while personally, on the other hand, the only type of pizza I would find perfect is one covered in bacon. The same type of thing applies to people who are searching for that one special person to complete their life. I'm sure everyone has at some point heard the typical responses to having a new person in their life such as, "Why are you with him/her?", "You could do so much better!" and the absolute best one, "I don't think he/she's very cute." Out of all the questions they could ask and things they could say, why these things? Don't they understand everyone has their own kind of perfect?

There are billions of people all over the world, but out of all those people, there's that one person you can't ever seem to get enough of. The way they carry themselves is nothing like you've seen before and nobody else's voice has ever sounded so close to heaven. Being a smart-aleck is completely normal with this person and even though some people might find that odd, because it seems like you are more friends than a boyfriend or girlfriend, it's nothing to you because that's just a bit of what keeps your crazy connection alive. I've finally found my kind of perfect; completely out of the blue. He's my definition of serendipity.

"Isn't it kind of crazy? How a person who was once a stranger, can suddenly, without warning, become your entire world?"

With the perfect person, nothing ever comes too difficulty. Their flaws and little quirks become nothing but absolute perfection and even when they do something that would typically drive you crazy, you can't do anything but shake your head and laugh while displaying a little half smile on your face because after all, you're the one that chose them, right? Suddenly, the glance of their eyes staring back into yours feels like magic; making such a powerful connection that even five seconds can make you completely forget there are more people in this world than just you two. Time? There's never enough of it spent together and no matter how many times you tell each other you are going to get some decent sleep one night this week, it never happens because the reality is actually better than anything you could think up in a dream.

For myself, it all started when I was 16. My best friend at the time always talked about this boy she knew and went to hang out with on occasion. He's the male version of me which I could pick up on by the way she talked about him and the stories she told me which made me all the more excited to actually meet him. When I finally met him, I couldn't feel anything but butterflies in my stomach and a lump in my throat start to form as I introduced myself. I knew in that moment, he was my kind of perfect and eventually, if not then, I would show him that I was his kind of perfect too. Two years later, I can say that I've finally gotten that chance and I've honestly never been so truly happy with myself or anyone else before in my entire life.

We both understand that not everything in life is guaranteed to go our way, but it's important to make the most of it whether it's good or bad. Trust between him and I was given more freely than it ever has been before with someone else and that's all due to the way we both make each other feel so wanted; like we've finally found our home away from home. Although in our case, our home away from home is in the form of another person. It's the little things he does like brushing my hair behind my ear, then glancing into my eyes one last time before he kisses my lips or how he pulls me in closer when my stubborn little attitude starts to show and kisses my forehead before laughing and reminding me he was just messing around which of course I knew the whole time anyway, that make me feel so lucky to have found this person who just so happens to be my definition of perfection.

Many people search their entire life for what we've seemed to have found so effortlessly and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you for everything you do and everything you make me feel, T. I hope I return at least half of what you give to me.
