It's been four years since we met, four impacting years. I never knew that day was the day I would be meeting someone that would mean so much to me.
I was a YouTuber, but didn't have too many subscribers, and he was just another fan. Who knew all those tweets would turn into Skype calls, and all those Skype calls would turn into something even bigger. On the 4th of September 2009, my life changed forever.
It was a bit windy and looked as if it were about to rain. I was starting to feel a bit chilly, but then I saw him. That tiny bit of cold I was feeling suddenly went away when I laid eyes on him. It was like a silhouette of beautiful white glittering light was stitched into his beautiful soul. He was a bit taller than I imagined, which really didn't matter to me, he was perfect just the way he was.
As he walked towards me it felt like the whole world was in slow motion, letting me adjust to this overwhelming experience. Inside, it felt like kids in a bounce house, a wave of butterflies. My heart was racing its way out of my chest, my heart was desperately reaching out for his.
When he finally reached me, the world seemed to speed up. This wonderful man was younger than me, but I didn't care and neither did he. He was so beautiful in person. Those beautiful chocolate eyes, his shiny, straight brown hair, and the voice of an angel.
We were together for a good bit of the day. Walking around town, getting lunch, could this day get any better?
"What are you getting" Dan asked when we arrived at the ice cream Shoppe.
" Ummm… Probably what I always get, a chocolate, peanut butter vanilla milk shake. What are you getting?" I answered.
" That actually sounds really good, I think I wanna try that." Dan said with a smile.
When the lady at the counter asked what we were having I ordered for the both of us. He looked a bit confused as to why I did that but he was smiling.
As we were waiting for our milkshakes he and I chatted about our favorite pokemon. Then finally our milkshakes were ready. As we went to a table he did a funny little dance and quietly sang ' my milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard.' I laughed, maybe a bit too hard, and sat down across from him. He was so adorable drinking his milkshake. I wanted to tell him that, and that I like him but I wasn't sure if he was gay, or bi, or how he felt about them.
I know this was the first time I have ever seen him in person, but I had that heart feeling that he was someone special.
If it weren't for that blessed day, I don't know what I would be. I wouldn't know the feeling of true love, I wouldn't be, well, me! Dan saved my life from being something different, and everyday I thank him for that.
