Es que me gusta todo de ti...

Not once have we met. Not once have we talked. Not once have we seen each other or exchanged a word. But, all I know is I like everything about you. Todo de ti. Your eyes, your face, your smile... everything. I take in everything I can get. I know a lot about you, yet you don't even know I exist. So, here you go: we are the same age (but you are older by a few months), we both speak more than one language, we share similar interests, and we are both strangers to each other. The basics. I hope we can cross paths one day. You never know... the butterfly effect, right? You know, I've pictured it before: a small town outside Barcelona, on a random sidewalk. We're walking in opposite directions. We bump into each other (a typical meet-cute, huh?), but apologise and keep going. Later, we run into each other again. This time, it's in this somewhat empty coffee shop. I'm sitting down, on my phone, most likely. You go to order and out of nowhere, we make eye contact. We realise we know each other from somewhere. But where? You realise you bumped into me earlier. And then, I 'figure it out'. You're not unknown, especially in those parts. I say your name, in a tone that makes it seem like a question. You say yes, thats me. I don't ask about you or your career. Instead, I take the 'unconventional' route: initiating a talk, as if we were friends. We exchange information, and go from there. A sort of snowball effect happens. We become close real fast, and my own career intertwines with yours (I promise, this isn't intentional. I've actually had this career picked out for years). We undeniably have romantic chemistry. I'm patient. Just being near you is enough. We come to our senses (feelings-wise) and decide to give it a shot. It goes really well. Our relationship is a work conflict, though. If you knew, you'd understand. I decide to switch to another 'team', so we can be together. It would be the best decision we would had ever made. We end up engaged, then married. About a year and a half later, we bear children. I even have their names picked out. You'd love them. I don't have much else after that. We are 'dependent' on your job. Where you are, we are. You know, the future is unplanned. Who know what will happen. All I know is how you make me feel - como me haces sentir. Es que, contigo quiero despertar. But for now, all I can do is dream. Fantasize about our meet-cute and how our relationship will develop. But hey, don't worry. I'm crossing my fingers for us.
