There isn't really a perfect way to say any of this, so I'm just going to say it.

I love you. Somewhere along the way, you stopped being just someone I looked forward to talking to and became the person I wanted to share everything with. The good days, the difficult ones, the little moments that don't seem important to anyone else. You're the first person I want to tell things to, and the person I want beside me through all of it.

I want to be your person. The one you call when you've had the best day, the one you lean on when everything feels heavy, the one who celebrates every win with you and reminds you how amazing you are when you forget. I want to be there through every chapter of your life, not just the easy ones, but all of them. I want to grow with you, laugh with you, support you, and love you through every step of your journey.

I think about our future more than I probably admit. I think about the day the distance is finally behind us. About getting to experience ordinary life together instead of through a phone screen. Going on little adventures, making memories, arguing over what to have for dinner, falling asleep next to you instead of on a call. Those ordinary moments sound extraordinary to me because they'd be with you.

I can promise that I'll choose you, over and over again. I want to be the person holding your hand through every high and every low, for as long as you'll let me. Not just for now, not just while it's exciting, but for every tomorrow that comes after.

You are my favourite hello, my hardest goodbye, and the easiest person I've ever loved. If I get to spend the rest of my life loving you, I'll consider myself the luckiest person in the world.
