We met online and he sent me a poem...and the poem opened the door, but it was our souls that stayed. He said, I read your words and I felt that something was moving inside me. It's as if I had been waiting for you without knowing it. From a distance you held my hand with every letter, every look, every gesture that crossed borders. No language barriers, borders, or obstacles will get in our way. Two souls who met through words, building a long-distance love that knows no boundaries.

Synchronized video call dances, our karaoke nights, the virtual dinners where I felt like you were right in front of me, and every video message that made me smile like a fool in love. The surfer and the surfboard artist, he thought she loved surfing...he plans to teach her. She plans to use his model body as her next canvas. She is learning his language, but they already speak the language of love.

We wrote until we fell asleep most nights hugging the computer, and once I rubbed the back of the laptop thinking I was rubbing his back. We learned about each other from the inside out, and we want to make that first hug that we so dream of come true. We want to hold hands and never let go. We would begin to build our future, starting with our wedding. Because the real prize was finding us. We choose us, and we hope America does too💋💋
