The Entire Universe

"So

I love you

because the entire universe 

conspired to help me

find you."

It´s like Paulo Coelho wrote this sentence especially for me. For I am sure that the whole universe in fact did conspire to help me find Paul.
Let´s take a look at the facts. I was born in a small town in Northern Sweden. He was born in Soweto in South Africa. I was a figure skater, he was a political prisoner, sentenced to 25 years on Robben Island for terrorism. I mean, what were the odds for us? Even just for meeting eachother, let alone falling madly in love?
But somehow we did. One dark, velvety night in February 1992, all the stars aligned on the sky of the Southern hemisphere. I left Sweden two years later, a few months before the first democratic elections in South Africa and the rest is, as they say, history.
