Movies That Remind Me Of You
There are a few movies that remind me of you. Maybe not who you are as a person, or exactly our relationship and etc, but scenes in them that make me go, “Hmmm…that makes me think of my Bunny.”
Big Fish — love at first sight.
So—I hate this fucking movie lol. People love it but I just didn’t and never really understood why. But there is this scene, where he sees the love of his life and the world just stops.
When you walked into the gallery that day, I knew it. I knew you were special, I knew you were something, I was sure that there was something about you that was meant just for me. It was meant to be that you were late, or that for some reason I was early. That your train was slow, your Uber took a turn, that I ended up talking to my friend in that moment so that I’d be facing the door. I had already done a lap around the gallery, went to the bathroom to touch up, and you could have come at any of those moments but you didn’t.
You came at that one. The entire place went silent when I saw you and it felt like no one else was there. And this moment is how it felt for me.
The Great Gatsby — A Beautiful Little Fool
When we met I was writing my article on Gatsby, and I remember when you told me that you were reading the book by candlelight one evening. You know how I feel about the book and the movie. I used to connect with Daisy in so many ways until I grew up and realized just how selfish she was but there are some moments that are left over that still make me adore her. One of them is how she tells Nick that she hopes her daughter will grow up to be a fool—A beautiful little fool. I always thought she meant that specifically for love. I’m a fool in love with you, and I don’t mean that in any negative way at all. I love you, and I think of all the things I would do for you, the lengths I would go to show you my love, things that only people in love are foolish enough to do. I hope if you ever open it up again and come across that passage as you thumb through the pages that you think of me, and what a fool I am for you.
Love Actually - To Me, You Are Perfect
I still, cannot to this day, believe you did this for me. This is by far the most romantic thing that anyone has ever done for me and I will never forget it. This meant so much to me for about a million reasons. Firstly, you went outside of your comfort zone, doing this in public as folks were walking by, pointing and smiling and you did it anyway. Secondly, we watched this movie together and you must have been looking at me or listening when this scene came on and I was “awww”-ing all over the place, and you took that and created something special. Lastly, because of the words on the cards. You asked if I’d stay your girlfriend…and forever and ever my answer will be yes. To being your friend, your girlfriend, your future wife. I love you, you gave me my own movie love story moment to look back on and smile at and I will never forget that.
Thank you Sy, Thank you for loving me, for thinking of me, for showing me and for letting me live in my own romantic comedy every day with you and for being my hot lead actor…I love you.
