for Surbhi, always

Why I love you

Written down, so you never forget.

Everything — but here are some of them. ♥

01 Kind

Because you notice when someone's hurting before they've even found the words to say it.

02 Fun

Because you make the most ordinary moments feel like memories worth keeping forever.

03 Loving

Because the way you love is quiet and steady and real — and I feel it even when nothing is said.

04 Strong

Because you carry so much, more than anyone sees — and you still show up. Every single day.

05 Smart

Because your mind is one of my favourite things about you — the way you think, the way you see the world.

06 Home

Because when things are right with you, I feel calmer than anywhere else. You are somewhere I belong.

07 Food

Because you make great food — and I love every moment we share around it. Some of my favourite memories are just us, eating together. And I want to keep feasting with you forever.

08 Dreams

Because your dream of pine trees and mountains became mine too — and I can't wait to get there with you.

09 Grateful

Because you appreciate me — and that means more than you know.

10 Ours

Because we built a world no one else knows about — and I would choose it, and you, every single time.

There are more. There will always be more.
But these are the ones I wanted you to have in writing.
