I didn’t want to know about love when I first met you —
to love and give myself completely.
I didn’t want to hurt you,
for I was still learning how to let go of love.
It was meant to be you,
and I couldn’t understand:
how can someone love a person they’ve only seen for a day?
It was love at first sight,
yet I had no idea how deeply you felt.
At first, I didn’t look at you with eyes of love,
only with the gaze of a friend.
But then your quiet shyness,
the way you made me smile…
it all won my heart.
I don’t know what you saw in me,
but I know exactly what I saw in you:
I’ve never met someone who loves me this much,
who is so devoted to me,
who sees every single flaw I have
and still chooses to stay right here.
It was meant to be you —
I just didn’t know it yet,
blinded by other passions that only led me astray.
How can someone love this much?
How can someone desire this deeply?
How can someone love the same woman every single day
as if it were the very first time?
If I’d known that being with you would bring out the best in me,
I wouldn’t have waited so long to realize it.
Your love is true:
you love me like it’s the first time,
you kiss me like it’s the first time,
you look at me like it’s the first time.
You love every part of me,
and here in these words I declare:
my love for you is eternal.
