It was love at first sight when my eyes met Hayden's across the room in calculus class. From that moment, I knew that my life would never be the same. Despite the fact that neither of us really understood the formulas and calculations, we would sit together and laugh at our math misadventures. Soon, we had become inseparable and I felt the warmth of Hayden's presence like the first ray of sunshine after a long, dark storm. We spent hours talking about the universe and life, both recognizing that no matter how much we disagreed, we had found something special in each other. Every day we grew closer and closer, until finally, on a starry night in the summer, Hayden and I said we loved each other. I knew right away that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. Since then, our relationship has only grown stronger, like an ever-blooming flower. I'm grateful for Hayden and for the beautiful journey of love and companionship we are on together.
