The first we spent laying awake under the stars, you talked about how you have prettier eyelashes than me and I laughed. and then, you went on to talk about how my nose is almost perfect and my eyes talk when I don't.

I remember thinking that you knew how to charm someone with words. however, what stayed with me the following day was how you held I my hand throughout the night. it was all new for me and a bit overwhelming.

but you made me feel safe. not for a second, my mind drifted to what ifs, you held my full attention and I quite liked listening to your stories about wanting to see every corner of the world. you had a spark in your eyes that matched that of the stars, beautiful and so lively.

I remember thinking how different we both were. I liked having a routine whereas your soul screamed adventure. you always were meant to touch the sky and I could not wait to wave at you everytime you would.

I've lost count of the nights that we've spent under the stars over the years and the days when you would disappear to follow a butterfly because you wanted to.

falling in love with you was inevitable but staying together was upto us. since the start, I knew that we would not have forever but the time we had was everything that I could ever ask for.

being in love with you made me love life more. you had dreams and I could not help but build mine along with yours. you taught me the importance of self love the way you kissed your insecurities and flaws.

when I think of you, I think of roses, sunshine, full moon and destiny.

falling in love with you was anything but easy because it wasn't just loving you but also fighting everything and everyone who were against us. but you made it all worth it.

being in love is like being on a journey, all you hope is that it never comes to an end.

all my life, I've always called myself a lover. I love like it is the only thing that I know how to do, right or wrong or messy or hopelessly.

but I've never loved anyone like I love you because nobody ever loved me like you do.

Thank you for reading!
