All because of one drunken night

So broken from someone I tied myself to in my mind and someone who treated me like just another object. Then I went to a house party during lockdown, got unnecessarily drunk…because what else was there to do? Blacked out, woke up in someone’s bed. Thought it was someone else at first, then turned my head from the painting on the wall to his face and I just knew we would know each other for a long time. He said he was going through a tough time, dealing with a sick family member, someone with a death date, and I accepted then and there that a future was probably not in the cards. But to my surprise, his name surfaced on my phone screen a couple days later, the pinging in my heart rang true. I went to his for a drink, the way our bodies connect feels like they were built to fit into each other. The zingy feeling in the air when I’m around him, the kind words he speaks to me and the deep loyalty is something I’ve never experienced from a partner before. I feel like I’ve know him for a lifetime, and he makes me feel so beautiful. This is the first relationship I’ve had where I feel seen and heard - all because of one drunken night. Flowed into my life so seamlessly like a stream to a lake. One day without speaking feels like a lifetime. I want to say I love you but I’m waiting for him to say it first. I hope all this is mutual. To deep, unexpected and effortless connections.
