A letter to the one I love
Some loves are too deep for a single moment — so I made you a world of words.
A letter from the heart
There are moments I find myself just watching you — the way you exist so completely, so effortlessly yourself — and I think: how did I get this lucky? Not lucky in the way of chance, but lucky in the way of grace. The kind that makes you believe the universe was paying attention when it brought you into my life.
You carry a warmth that I've never encountered in anyone else. It's not loud or performative — it's quiet, and it lives in the small things. The way you listen, really listen, when someone speaks. The way you remember the details others forget. The way you love — with your whole self, no reservations, no half-measures.
I want you to know that loving you is the truest thing about me. Every version of myself that I am proud of, every better instinct I follow, every brave thing I've done — you are woven into all of it. You make me want to be worthy of the way you look at me.
On nights like this, I can't help but feel the weight of how fortunate I am. To have you. To know you. To be loved by you. It is the greatest gift this life has given me, and I will never, ever take it lightly.
This is all just to say: I love you, Cynthia. More than I know how to say, more than these words can hold — but I'll keep trying for the rest of my life to show you.
— Always, entirely, endlessly yours 🥀
A list with no end
No. 01
The way your eyes hold warmth even when you're trying to seem unbothered. You can never quite hide the light in them.
No. 02
How fiercely you love the people in your life. Your loyalty is rare, and it's one of the most beautiful things about you.
No. 03
The sound of your laughter — especially the real, unguarded kind that catches you off guard too. It's my favourite sound.
No. 04
Your mind. The way you think, question, and notice things that everyone else walks right past. It is endlessly fascinating.
No. 05
The quiet ways you show love — a gesture here, a remembered detail there. You are thoughtful in a way that changes people.
No. 06
Your strength. The quiet, unshakeable kind. You face hard things with grace you don't even know you have.
No. 07
The way you make even ordinary moments feel like something worth remembering. You have that effect on time itself.
No. 08
Every imperfection you try to hide — they are not flaws to me. They are the details that make you irreplaceably you.
No. 09
That you chose me. And keep choosing me. That is something I will be grateful for until my very last breath.
