Once upon a time, I lived in a place where life was black and white. Shades of gray didn't exist for me and life was simple. I lived in the moment and loved life to the fullest. I was that boy that everyone wanted to be: the girls always wanted to be with and the boys envied the attention I got.
But I wasn't interested in any of it. I had my sights on something better, grander: glory. I wanted to make a difference. I wanted to save the world and be its hero. I wanted power and I wanted to be loved by all. And there was nothing that was going to stop me. I had a plan.
Of course, I know now that the best laid plans hardly ever work. I can see now that I was very young and very naive. A hundred years living and you learn a thing or two about the world, even if you didn't want to see it before.
I never thought I would lead the life of the immortal. I was nothing special. I was never better at anything in life except reading people. But that's hardly something that anyone notices unless their secrets should not be aired. But someone saw something in me that could cure their loneliness.
I never saw it coming that day but I haven't regretted a moment of it since. My life may have ended that day, but I didn't start living until it was over. It was after there was a whole new world that I had yet to explore. There were so many things I never dreamed of that I now was about to conceive. I took to immortality like a parched man takes to water.
I reveled in my new powers. Finally, I was able to achieve the glory I so desperately craved in my former life. Then I saw how pointless it was. Glory was nothing to an immortal, doomed to walk the earth forever and all eternity.
Now, I had unlimited time to do as I please and become a different person than I was. Life couldn't be better. Until I met you. That was the day, almost a hundred years later, that my immortal life finally began.
My waiting was finally over. No longer did I have to walk through the endless years, alone. I finally found my match in every way in you. How you have captured my heart and eased a pain I never knew I had. Of course I loved you from that first moment. How could I not?
You are my better half, the answer to life's mysteries, my soul's completion. You are all I want and shall ever need.
