I received a letter today.

With ‘open for surprises’ written all over the envelope.

It’s from…. my boyfriend?

‘meh,’ I thought and tear the envelope off, carefully, of course.

I wanna make you mine,

Take you everywhere I go.

Never thought I’d find,

Someone I could call my own.

 

I looked for you and smile as soon as I saw a familiar figure, walking with your books held securely in your hands.

That adorable smile you put on, every time someone greet you.

That gesture you do as you fix your glasses back in place.

The way your eyes light up when you saw me watching.

And that grin, oh my god, that grin, they drive me crazy.

 

What’s driving me crazier is how you are mine. All mine and no one else’s.

 

And I should say,

As I’m on my way, to you,

That I love you, I love you,

I really do.

 

I walk my way to you, my heart beating fast, like it always do, every time,

Feeling nervous on how you would feel with me around.

What if you’re tired of me? What if you’re not comfortable with me around? What if I’m not good enough for you?

But the tight hug you give me when I’m in front of you erase all the bad thoughts away.

I love you, I really do.

 

It was December,

Yes I remember,

The way that you were always there for me.

 

Two years back, December 15th, I met you for the first time.

Me, being my clumsy self, had my things scattered everywhere as I accidentally dropped them.

You saw that, and you smiled, chuckled, even.

You helped me picked my things up, even though your hands were full.

“Be careful,” you said and walked away.

 

And I don’t know how,

But you managed to be there every time I need help.

Even after a semester later.

 

I didn’t know you, but I could show you,

Yes I could show you definitely.

 

At this point, I realise that we had never really talked to each other. But I’m already falling for you, deeply.

And I’m not afraid to show it to you, now.

 

We were strangers,

With such contradiction.

 

You being pretty and I’m being clumsy.

You’re breath-taking and I’m puke-worthy.

I’m going to go and get you now.

 

But….

Should I go?

I don’t know. Who should I listen to?

 

But then again,

My heart was there and so were you,

Now honestly there was nothing left to do.

 

But to make you mine,

And take you everywhere I go,

Never thought I’d find,

Someone I could call my own.

 

I made my mind up.

That’s it. This is the moment, the right time.

Six month of just smiling to each other,

Six month of greeting each other every morning,

Six month of knowing only your name, and nothing else.

I’m not going to hold back.

 

I saw you again that day, May 15th, 2016.

Smiling like you always do.

I walked my way to you, my heart beating fast, like it always do.

 

“Hey, how are you doing?” I asked.

And that’s how everything start.

 

It’s December 15th, 2016.

Six month of actually knowing you,

I did the same thing I did six month before.

I walked my way to you, my heart beating fast, like it always do.

 

And I should say,

As I make my way, to you,

“I love you, I really do,” I said.

 

May 15th 2017,

Six month of being together.

Six month of daily morning video calls.

And I’ve decided that

There’s no one in the world I’d rather see,

Your beautiful face in the morning, now.

I know of course you disagree,

But it’s such beauty, so lovely.

 

Your super soft skin, oh my god, where do I begin?

Why don’t I go from head to toe?

Your eyes, your lips, your nose, your cheeks,

Your ears and how they pay close attention to me.

Your hands, your touch,

And the way I blush because of what your touch does to me.

 

It is now December 15th 2017,

One year of being together.

And I would never forget

The way you look into my eyes,

I swear that you’ve got me under a spell.

But I don’t mind, just keep me there.

Because I love it, if you can’t tell.

 

And when I fall, you always catch me.

And when I call, to see if you’re free,

You would always say that you are, every time, just for me.

And every time, I would always go to your house after the call,

I’m waiting for you, at your front door,

To tell you

“You’re the only one that I adore”

 

So will you be mine?

I’ll take you everywhere I go,

I never thought I’d find,

Someone I could call my own.

 

And I should say,

As I’m on my way to you,

 

Will you marry me?

 

웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃웃

 

I don’t even realise that I have tears in my eyes, until I blink as I heard my doorbell ring.

I opened the door, not expecting you to be on your knee, holding up a ring, waiting for me.

 

“I do.”
