"Thank you for being my first love!" - To S., from Ana

Everything started with a feeling. A feeling that was very deep in the recesses of my heart and that slept there for years and years. Many people, many events, many achievements, many defeats, but still you stayed somewhere there, in a secret room of my heart.

I have that image etched in my mind, that day when I saw your eyes full of life and thought:

"Ana, this could be love. It could be that feeling that adults experience and maybe for the first time it's happening to you too."

I slept with you in my mind, I dreamed of you, and I woke up with you, alone, in secret. Every day, when I looked into those eyes, I said to myself:

"How can I tell this guy that I really like him?"

Distance separated us, but I never took that image out of my mind. Coincidence is the king of the world and I believe that the universe brings many people into your life for specific purposes, maybe for them to teach you something, or for me to learn something. I think the universe brought you to me to show me that love can exist.

Try once to get out of the ice you've been in and let this boy who lives deep in your heart take over you completely. Try to love unconditionally, without distance, without considering anything that surrounds you and love this thing as the last thing you live for.

I think the universe brought you to me because I prayed to God every time:

"Bring me a man into my life who will make me believe in love."

I never believed in love... until the image of a great person, with a sense of humor, but also serious at the same time, appeared to me, right in front of me. Everything had changed, except for those eyes, those eyes that had been fixed on me a long time ago.

Thank you for being a part of my life and making everything beautiful. I love you so much, S., and I will always love you, no matter what.
