Hey,
I don’t know why, but I wanted to write something, so here it goes. I know it’s a lot now, but that morning’s message still has me smiling. It’s been a very long time since I’ve smiled like that the whole day. I don’t know why, but I can’t stop thinking about it, and honestly, I don’t want it to get out of my head.
I don’t know what you’ve done to me, but it’s something—something that, if given a choice, I wouldn’t want to change. I’m finding myself writing this letter to you in the middle of the night, and even if I had the whole night, it wouldn’t be enough. So, let’s see what I write today. Please don’t judge me for being cheesy. (Pretty please?)
Alright, I’m not much of a writer, but I can pen down this pretty clearly: I do love you. Maybe not from the very beginning, but day by day, I’ve been falling more and more in love with you. I’ve been with a lot of people in my life and done a lot of things for them, but I’ve never felt this sense of fulfillment. By fulfillment, I mean that feeling of genuine happiness when you want someone else to be happy, without any expectations.
You might be thinking, “It’s been less than a month, and why is this guy writing me these long letters?” Believe me, I’m thinking the same. There’s a small part of me that thinks you’re going to make fun of this, but hey, screw it. I’m still going to continue because you know why? I love you!
Remember when you sent me those orchids? That was the second happiest moment of my life. That was the moment I decided I’m going to bring this lady home and ask her to share the nameplate with me. (I know it sounds shallow at this moment, but let’s give it time; it won’t sound like this.) Well, that was the second best. What about the first one?
It wasn’t the moment I saw you for the first time, or when I hugged you for the first time, or even when you said yes to my proposal. It was when I was heading home after you said yes—those late-night alone moments I spent in the auto, constantly thinking about the future I’m going to create with you. Maybe I even envisioned this moment, like talking to you over the phone.
And now I’m shy that you’ve asked me what I’ve been writing.
Yep, I had to put this idea aside yesterday because, well, you know where I was occupied. Today, though, I had this wild idea and jumped right into it. I hope you’ll like the accent colors and all the subtext.
So, back to the actual writing? Or maybe this is enough for day one?
Catch you on the flip side!
Yours in endless quirks, Sahil
