Our story can be taken back to our high school years…at least that’s where we met. Marco was always too smart for the lesson plans and would choose sleep over lectures. As for myself, many (including Marco) remember me for always having a snack in class. Now, we never really talked romantically in Highschool, but would cross paths every day in the halls, not knowing that one day we would find each other again and become soul mates.

Now he was in track/cross country, and I was in the swim team in high school. Unknowingly again, these teams would have practice with each other at least once a week...

I share this because one fateful day, I created a new Facebook account. I started adding friends, some old and some new. Now as some of you know I don’t use my real name on social media, but there I am when suddenly, I got a friend request. It was Marco! and again I remember him as the sleepy boy in English class, so I accept.

In just a matter of time he is messaging me how I am doing, and I’m confused because I had no idea he knew who I was. That set the beginning of our love story..

Some may not believe in fate, but the more we were together we realized we were always so close yet so far from finding each other. His mother, in fact, has worked with one of my uncles for over 20 years! My uncle has known Marco since he was a child and was shocked when we found out. This goes to show that a little waiting and patience can bring you to the person you’ve always were meant for.
