Hey Lydia, I made this just for you. It's not perfect, but it's us.
For Lydia
Hey you. I made this for you. Just a little space filled with moments that mean more to me than I can explain. From Karura to Ololua to the Waterfront, every time I'm with you it feels like the world slows down.
You make everything softer. You make me want to hold on a little longer.
Karura: Where It All Began-kind of
Karura was the start of everything. We didn't need to do much, we just existed and somehow that was enough. I still remember how it felt just walking beside you, laughing about random things. That day made me realize how easy it was to be around you, how real it felt.
Ololua: Holding Hands, Matching Hearts
That day at Ololua was simple but perfect. We got matching bracelets the day before, and I couldn't stop smiling every time I looked at yours. Your hand fit mine like it was meant to be there. It wasn't a grand moment, just one of those that stay forever.
Ololua: Lydia Smiling
You were just standing there smiling and I swear everything else disappeared. There's something about your smile that hits different. It's warm, and it makes me forget what I want to say for a bit. Every time I see this picture, I remember how lucky I am that I got to be there with you.
Us: In Karura
This picture feels like peace. Just us, no rush, no noise. I remember the way you leaned into me, and it felt like I'd known you for years. If I could freeze one moment, it would probably be this one.
Waterfront: Where I Said I Love You
I still think about this day a lot. The way I looked at you, the way it felt to finally say it out loud. It wasn't rehearsed or planned, it just slipped out because it was true. That was the moment I knew for sure that I didn't want this to end.
What Forever Might Look Like
I know it's just a fake image but it makes me smile every time. It's a small glimpse of a future I can imagine, one where we still look at each other the same way we did back then. I don't know what's ahead, but I know I want you there.
Just Us
I don't really have a big speech to end this. I just wanted to make something that reminds you how much you mean to me.
From every date to every call, you've made everything better without even trying. You're special, Lydia. You always will be.
I love you so much,
Will you be my love me forever, like I will love you?
(Just a hint of what I am making you, you will see it soon)
