The boy who lives far away

It’s funny how some things started to have a different meaning from the moment I met you. Although we haven’t seen each other in person yet, but I’ve imagined that moment a few times. It will be kind of rough, weird and totally awkward. I’m definitely going to look down like I’m checking to see if I’ve put my shoes on correctly. I’m going to tuck my hair behind my ear a million times, not as an attempt to be charming, just the attitude of someone who doesn’t know what to do.

I know that with every sentence you say a half-silly smile will come to my lips, after all that’s what happens every time I get a message from you. Okay, I know it’s kind of corny, but I can’t deny that I fell in love with my WhatsApp friend.

I feel stupid and at the same time I think it’s funny. I feel butterflies in my stomach with every conversation and a very big annoyance when, for some reason, you take a long time to answer me. And this is madness. We barely know each other. However, I can already see us together. I try to be tough and not get carried away, but this habit of yours to take care of me and want to know how my day was crumbles me.

What I wanted most is for us to live close by, because so many times I picked up my cell phone to call you and say: come here and see me, I need your hug. And all of this is weird because I see myself as if I’m part of you, as if we already have a story.

• Ah, how I’ve been thinking about you lately…

All that comes to my mind when we talk is that I want you closer, so I can get to know you better. I can say it’s been very easy to like you. Another thing is to say that I already love you. And I like the way things are going. We are so in tune, everything seems to fall into place. I always laugh when I’m writing something and immediately you send your text first and that’s exactly what I would send.

Another thing that frightens me is the similarity of our dreams, but it also makes me feel safe, because I know that I can have a friend by my side, a companion, someone who encourages me to grow and who goes far with me. It’s kind of weird to imagine all this, but it’s also nice to wake up, turn off the alarm clock and already have a message from you to wake me up for good.

I don’t know your family well, but from your friends I have a brief idea of ​​how dear you are and how your parents raised you so well, making you a real man.

My friends still don’t know about us and if one day someone asks me if I imagine where all this is going I won’t be able to answer. And I don’t even want to.

Yes, I know I don’t know you much, but I’m interested in you, in your life and in making you happy. In being the one who will take care of every detail so that the smile on your face never fails. But while we don’t know each other, all I have left are these daydreams and our conversations on WhatsApp.
