NOTE; okay so this is basically the same thing as the first one. but this one is written from Regina's point of view and it has a different ending.

I found what I'd been looking for in myself,
Found a life worth living for someone else.
Never thought I could be,
I could be,
Happy, happy.

Dear Emma,
The first time we met I was shocked, both because of how gorgeous you are but also because I never expected to meet you. To be completely honest, I may have wanted to scream at you to go away, to go anywhere that wasn't near Henry. Admittedly, I didn't want you in his life at all. I know how bad that was but that was the old me. You came inside and had cider with me and you seemed so scared, I almost laughed. Little did I know how much of a pain in my ass you would be.
The first time we argued (out of many times) was over Henry and I thought we were going to physically fight. You came charging into my backyard with your chainsaw and began chopping my apple tree down. You thought you were so clever, yet I will admit you definitely achieved in spiting me.
The first time I realized you genuinely cared about Henry was in the hospital. You looked like your heart had been snatched out of your chest and you turned to me with hatred in your eyes. I can't really blame you for that though, I hated myself for a long time after that for what I did.
The first time I knew there was something between us was after you broke the curse. Everyone hated me and came after me, rightly so if I might add. You protected me, even though I had done nothing for you. Then when I was trying to get Jefferson's hat to work, the damn thing wouldn't budge. Then you touched my arm and suddenly it began whirring so fast I didn't have time to process what happened. But then you were gone.
The first time I admitted I had feelings for you was when you were stuck in FTL. I kept thinking about that damn hat and I started to miss you so much I even began wearing the damn shirt you stole from me. So childish and pitiful I know, but I wasn't ready to accept the fact that I needed you around. But then you came back.
The first time we ate lunch together without Henry was a few weeks after you got back from FTL. Neal was back and he was in the diner and I figured you were trying to avoid him by sitting down with me. But even after he left, you stayed an hour and we had the nicest conversation. I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach the whole but I would never admit that out loud. We began having lunch together more often and soon began spending more and more time together.
The first time you really cried in front of me was when you called me, drunk out of your mind. You were sobbing on the phone and told me you didn't know what to do. I asked where you were and came to pick you up. You told me you didn't want to go home so I brought you back to my house. As soon as we got inside, you clung onto me and told me you weren't cut out for this savior stuff. I let you cry on my shoulder until you couldn't cry anymore. I told you that you were truly the savior in shining armor, no matter how much it annoyed me. After that, I took you home but before you got out of the car you hugged me.
The first time you asked me out on a date, I couldn't believe what had happened. You nervously sat down and began talking. Before I knew it, you asked if I wanted to go on a date with you and my tongue went numb while I kept opening and closing my mouth, trying to formulate a comprehensive answer. Finally I squeaked out a "Of course," and the smile on your face was so stunning I could've looked at it my whole life.
The first time we kissed was on our second date. You were staring at the ground, trying to write your name in the sand. You looked so precious and something in me made me reach out and caress your face. Then we were kissing and it was like the entire world melted away and it was just you and me. No kiss I had ever shared could match up to yours.
The first time we put a label on our relationship was when you came to my office one day with lunch. I was in the middle of sending an email to Archie when all of a sudden you blurted out "Are you my girlfriend?" I looked up at you and your bright red face almost made me laugh. But instead I asked if you wanted me to be your girlfriend, to which you replied with a snort. When I started laughing, you stood up, walked over and said "Then it's settled, we're officially dating." You kissed me and walked out.
The first time we told Henry about us, he smirked and said "It's about time,". We both laughed so hard we eventually fell onto the ground, which Henry took as an opportunity to jump on us.
The first time we had a serious fight, I thought I was going to lose my mind. You told me I was too guarded against people who were only trying to help me. As you stormed out, I screamed that maybe I wasn't what you wanted. I swear my throat burned like I had just drowned an entire bottle of whiskey because it hurt so much to hear myself say those words to you. You slammed the door but a minute later you stormed back in and gently grabbed my face. "You are exactly what I want, Forever. I just want you to stop being so damn stubborn." Then you kissed me and suddenly the whiskey was replaced with honey because all I could taste on my lips was you.
The first time I said I love you was when we got back from dinner with your parents. You were wearing sweatpants and you had spaghetti stains on your sweatshirt and I realized I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I blurted it out and you were so surprised I thought you were going to cry. And then you did. A single tear rolled down your cheek and you came over to the couch, snuggled in my lap. You looked my right in the eyes and told me you loved me and my head seemed like it was spinning. I never thought I'd truly love someone as much as I love you.
But this time I messed up. I said things I didn't mean. I made you cry. You said things that hurt me and on instinct I got defensive and I'm so sorry. Emma, please know that I love you so much and seeing how broken you were made me wish I could have swallowed all the words that hurt you. I'm writing this letter because I'm not good at expressing my feelings and I would say something stupid and mess everything up. I want to be with you forever. I love you. I hope this isn't the last time I get to say those words to you.
Love, Regina
NOTE; So here's this one. Like I said, it's really similar to the one from Emma's point of view. I also wanted to ask if you guys pay attention the lyrics at the top because I want to know if I should keep doing them or stop. Reviews would be great, thank you!
