Today it's twenty years since I first fell in love with my current boyfriend.
We were both 16 at the time, and kind of made a bit of a private celebration :balloon: the morning after Italy had won the soccer World Championships in Spain.
We split up a couple of years later, kept in touch for a while and then lost sight of each other until one day, in May 2000, I decided I wanted to know what had become of him.
Knowing he had always wanted to become a math professor at university, I tried to see if I could find any reference on the net, incredibly as it might sound I found a couple e-mail addresses, sent a neutral message excusing myself if I was addressing the wrong person, and saying "if it's you, it's up to you to decide whether you want to answer this message and just let me know where you are in life".
Guess what?
Two hours later there was an answer: it was indeed him, and he didn't mind hearing from me after so much time.
We kept writing to each other four to five messages a day, until we decided to meet again, and bing! love was there again!
The problem now is we live 3000 Kms apart.;-0
We are old enough to build something together, but life has taken us so far.
