A Chocolate Love

This sweet story started three years ago at the university when I started my career. One afternoon I was in the library looking for some books. I felt a person behind me. Then, I turned and on that moment I saw the most handsome man I have ever seen. The glance lasted for 20 seconds, we smiled and I run away.

Like a sign of the destiny, I crashed in to him at the library, cafeteria, and corridors of the university. On a cold day afterwards, a friend of mine introduced us and he said that he was from Switzerland. He invited me to drink a cup of coffee we talked for hours about life and the things that interested me, and all the things he wanted to do with his life. Every day we talked more frequently and also he gave me a chocolate from his land.

After that, two months passed, and then I remembered he went to my house, talked with my mother and asked her if he could invite me to have a dinner, my mom gave us the permission. We went to a wonderful restaurant and there he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend, I was in shock and after 15 seconds I said ¨YES!! I would love to be your girlfriend¨. I will never forget that sweet moment. From that time, we started a special relationship which lasted for one year and it was very enjoyable. But then he had to travel to his country, the farewell was so hard for us. He came back to Columbia last year for Christmas, we travelled to San Andres and really, we enjoyed our time.

Now I am engaged with a Swiss guy, he is coming this Christmas we will get married soon. We continue our relationship via Internet, we talk every day by the phone and since 2007 every month he sends me letters, pictures and the wonderful Swiss chocolate, the same chocolate that makes me think on him every morning when I open my eyes. I also know that we have a lot in common in the things that we like to do also our interests are nearly the same.
Since I have known him I have grown in confidence not only in my personal life but in the way that I talk to him, and I know that his love is given also back to me. I can see it every single second of my life.
