I know that we believe in magic

Hello. I hope you've been well. It feels like ages since I've written anything, though it's only been about a week. As I mentioned, I've been super lucky spending time with Beth, and I'll write a bit about her.

Beth and I both worked at The Warehouse over the calamitous Christmas/New Year's period. I thought she was really pretty when I first met her.

We went out for coffee (dated?) a few times, and I really liked her. We started going out, and ended up staring in a music video in which we made out for several minutes. She is amazing.

And she studies in Wellington. We had an amazing month of summer loving, and then she went back up north. We just sort of left things in limbo. I missed her heaps.

I went to Wellington over Easter, and we spent an amazing weekend together, and it felt like nothing had changed. It was so special.

And then we broke up. Even though we had something good going, we decided not to try going long-distance. And so we were really amazing friends for a few months.

Then she came down to Christchurch last week, and again, nothing had changed. We still have this amazingly special bond, and it feels so right. If living in different cities is the only reason not to be together, well, I don't think that's enough. She is so worth it.

I adore her so completely, and when I'm with her, I can just feel the love flowing out of my heart.
She is amazing and beautfiul and good and she, like me, believes in magic.
