It Must be Fate

“It must be fate.”

You've said that to me a few times now…

That figuring in that vintage store.

Finding my cat, after three months.

And, most recently, me 3d printing that Xenomorph head a few months ago, and then you, independently, deciding to do Alien themed decorations for Halloween.

I'll be honest, I didn't used to really buy into the idea of fate. I'm not really into mysticism or anything. I don't truly believe in twin flames or soulmates or anything else like that.

And yet.

The connection between us is so powerful, and so blindingly obvious. I've said it before… I've been drawn to you since day one. I think we've both grown and changed over the decade we've known each other, and we aren't necessarily the same people now as we were back then. But, still…

If our circumstances had been different, way back when? Well.

I've always liked you too much, is what I'm saying. Felt more connected to you than I should. Felt the potential for a bond…

Potential. Maybe that's it. We had — still have — a truly massive store of potential energy, ready to be unleashed, turned into kinetic energy like the world has never seen.

It's been building up more lately, to be sure. But it has always been there. Right from the start.

I know I felt it. I suspect maybe you did, too.

So then I think… if it wasn't fate that brought us together… then what did? Because, this energy… This energy doesn't happen every day. And, yeah, we both had to take paths through our lives which effectively block us from ever truly exploring it in order to get to here.

But here, we are.

And that store of potential energy just keeps building up. And up. And up.

⭐️, I don't think it's going to stop. I really don't.

It's going to keep building, until one of us gives into it.

And, frankly… I'm not sure if it matters which of us it is, because I'm pretty certain the other will follow. Gleefully.

…

Maybe we need a relief valve. An agreed upon way to relieve the pressure… for a bit. That we're both comfortable with. At least until we figure all this *gestures broadly* out. I dunno. I don't even know what it could be. Or how we could agree on it without stretching things a bit further…

I dunno… Wanna stretch things a bit further?

Well. We'll see. We'll figure it out, I'm sure of it. I'll be thinking about it. And thinking about you.

…but I'm always thinking of you.

…

Must have been fate… Indeed.

I love you.

Yours,
