Baby,
We come up with stupid jokes for the simplest things in life, covering up taboo topics with lame slangs that cannot be properly said with a straight face. You like to laugh a lot and when you laugh, your eyes laugh together with you. You like to playfully hit me and when you do, I feel the affection that comes from you.
We talk a lot about the future, and the past three days were fruitfully spent figuring many things out together. Some plans were made, others were unfortunately foiled; I saw you experience one of the best first things in life, and also saw you bravely endure one of the most difficult pains. You are strong, steadfast, and you love yourself so well even though you have many reasons not to. Because of that, it is so easy to love you.
I like how close we are to each other, even though our houses are so far apart. As you fall asleep in my arms, your breathing slows down to a gentle, therapeutic rhythm which calms me and all of my storms. You exhale into my neck as your mind wanders in your wonderland, sending chills down my spine and goosebumps all over me. Your scent, that of fresh soap, is mildly sweet but completely mesmerising and as your body relaxes and your muscles loosen as you fall into a deeper sleep, I hold you a little tighter because I don’t know what is going on in your head.
I wake up from a nightmare and find you still peacefully asleep beside me. I hold your arms a little tighter, and then you stir gently and wake up. You ask me if I’ve been awake all this while because it’s already 5am, but I tell you that I only just did so because a nightmare had robbed me of my sleep. You kiss me and we go back to sleep, and my nightmare never did return.
You have one of the nicest, most understanding roommates I ever know. In the early morning, your roommate leaves the room, leaving us to our own devices. There is everything to be unhappy about with a room intruder, but your roommate is a blessing and an amazing person, just like you.
Things have never felt so right in a long time. Not everything has gone smoothly between us, but so far through it all, every encounter we have faced has ended with nothing short of an amazing process.
I can’t wait to overcome more challenges, and experience the best things in life with you.
