Thank you for your letter, Matt. I’ll appreciate our memories forever.
Now it’s my turn to put my emotions into words. So here’s my letter from me to you:
“.. If someone told me that the love of my life lived x miles away from Norway, in Africa, I wouldn’t believe it. But you’ve proved to me that love has no boundaries and that love happens when you don’t except it to.”
“.. After High School I just wanted to run away and escape the Norwegian reality. Escape the loneliness, escape the silence and the chase after a perfect life that didn’t seem to ever appear.”
“.. I wanted to explore the world and its beauty, I wanted to get to know different cultures and broaden my perspective. Do as much as possible. But I didn’t expect to get feelings for anyone, because I rarely do. Neither did you.”
“.. Something must have happened along the way. I guess it’s called chemistry. And chemistry doesn’t care about where you’re from or what you do.”
“.. What I liked about you straight away was that you treat people equally and fair. For example, you invited your friends to join pool when we played the first time. Then, when you meet a friend, you’ll hug the person and ask how he/she is.”
“.. And when friends of you are in town and you’ve agreed to meet up, you do that. You don’t cancel because of me, because you’d like your friends to be happy. It just showes that you commit to people. You’re just a fundamentally good person, and I felt that from day one.”
“.. I like that you are just as keen for me as I am for you. I like that we chase each other every day but survive some days away from each other. And I love to reunite with you and just hear how your day was.”
“.. I like your imperfections. I like that you don’t wash your dishes so that I can do it; to make you happy. I like your ugly beanie that you wear every night; so that I can focus more on your yellow and blue toned eyes.”
“.. I like that you are silent sometimes, so that I can think about how lucky I am that I met you. And I respect that part of you as well, because I know how it is not being able to express emotions all the time. But I do actually hate one thing; the combination of striped socks and slippers.”
“.. Anyways. It’s been one month of our entire life, and something fundamentally have changed within me. I’ve finally understood that the purpose of life is to surround yourself with people you love and chase spontaneous moments. And I understand that now, because of you.”
“.. I have never ever felt this way. I feel disillutioned and sad for leaving such an amazing human being, but still I’m happy that it happened. I don’t see it as an end, more like a new beginning and a great experience.”
“.. I’m literally in a pathway right now where I have to make all these decisions. But traveling so far have learned me one thing: don’t think, just do. Anything is possible. So I’ll come after you.”
