It had been three months since we met for the first time and I was dying to see him again. We both wanted so much to spend Christmas together, although, for me, Christmas was never something really special, since I met him, somehow or another, it was becoming a warm moment for my heart. We had already had a Christmas “together” but we were separated at the same time, it was 2020 and I was in Peru and he was in Germany, so we spent this day by video call, it was amazing, I never loved making video calls so much!
Then the day came, I packed my bags and was nervous, it was my first time on a plane, I would be going to a place far away and new to me, but my heart would finally be complete again.
Together we prepared what I needed for my trip, as the documents I would probably be asked for had to be ready, I went all the way to Amsterdam on a 12 hour flight from Lima, very exhausting! The person at immigration was very kind, she asked me for proof of my relationship with him and I gave her some of our pictures we took in Lima, she said: They look cute together, I thought: I bet we do!
The second plane took me in an hour to Frankfurt, he was waiting for me, as cute as ever. He had brought me some things to eat and drink, some things to keep me warm, and a welcome sign… I’m very lucky, aren’t I?
When I arrived at his apartment, his place, I immediately felt a warmth and coziness that I could rarely have in a place other than my home. I love that place, I love it because it’s where he lives and it’s where his things are and it’s what he is, how he is, I could see even more of him and I still want even more.
I try to have words to describe my gratefulness to him and his love, but it is not easy, I can’t find them.
The three weeks I spent with him in his home, in his city, were too wonderful. He is everything I ever dreamed of but never thought I would have the joy of finding.
I want to somehow explain the following:
Since I was a child, the only place where I have felt and feel protected and really loved is at home, with my parents. They are the only people who really care for me, who support me in everything I do and who love me unconditionally, they are the ones who accept me as I am. Now, Chris is that person who has been added to this group of two. It is something I never thought could happen in my life. He is what feels like home to me too, with him I feel safe, loved and accepted, it is real and it is perfect.
Each and every day that I was away from home, I was also home. He is what feels right, what is wonderful. Each and every single thing he did and does for me, to make me happy and show me how much he loves me, is just perfect.
With you I am really happy, with you I can be who I really am, thank you my love.
