Do you remember that one day I asked you what if we "hooked up" way back when we were still naive, innocent and fresh with rosy outlooks for life (well at least I was like that...) what would have happened?
You said we probably would take it too much for granted and we would treat "it" with abandon and we would be strangers by now
I said maybe, maybe
It's been months since I asked you that question but I never stopped thinking about this what if scenario and I'm afraid that I disagree with you
I think we would be happy we would be still together I'm not saying we would not have tough patches hell no, we probably fighted up storms what with youth, ignorance and that quick temper of mine
But with all that we share the interests, values and a deep care for the people we love and where we differ your subtle ways and my brutal directness
We would have sticked it out I sincerely believe so of course, our life would certainly be different by now we may even have kids, I presume, or maybe not
Perhaps we would still be in China and living our lives just the way our parents and ancestors did and that would be very nice too
Anyway I write down my thoughts here the thoughts that you may never come across but what I really really wanted to express is that as all the cliches told us millions and millions of times I felt a tug when we did "hook up" this time I had a sense that you are meant for me
You may never be perfect but you are perfect for me
