Happy 1 Year Anniversary Baby! xx

You walked into the room and stumbled upon your favourite pink lilies and a combination of Theobroma dark chocolates, a compiled cd and a correction tape you told me you found cute. Everything which I had laid on the bed eagerly waiting to suprise you. And boy, were you suprised! But not half as suprised as compared to seeing what I had installed for you later on. After taking a few snapshots, I sat you down on the black armchair in my room and asked you to close your eyes and open both your hands. I gave you the black hardcover book which i made specially for you for this very day, bearing pictures of the times we shared together since day one. You silently opened it and went through every single page, until you reached the last page and read the note I left for you. You cried reading it and hugged me tightly. I bent down in front of you and wiped your tears away and took your hand. You said you know no one will ever love you this much. I wanted to kiss you and feel your lips pressed against mine. I wanted to hold your hand and feel your soft skin, wanted to hug you and hold you so tightly in my arms and never let go. We left not long after and I took you to dinner at our favourite market-like restaurant Marche which you first introduced to me before. Marche is not simply another restaurant as it holds something way more significant concerning the both of us. I ordered us our favourite Rosti, mushroom soup, a salad and a biiiiiiggg sausage! Much more than it seems, we ate and ate till we were both too stuffed to even walk properly. I ended up having almost the whole sausage, half your mushroom soup and your share of the salad because you said you were too full to go on. You were so tired on that day you almost fell asleep on the dinner table, but still so damn adorable and I couldn't help but smile just staring at you. You also sang our song `lucky' to me, which was such music to my ears. I was really happy.. happy for everything. Happy you sang to me, happy I made you laugh and smile, happy you enjoyed dinner, happy i could brighten up your day. I hope you liked the gifts I got you. I hope I made you feel special.. as if when I open my eyes, you are all that I see. Because baby, that is how it is for me. As time did not permit, we left Marche and I sent you home. Walking you to your door, I bid you goodbye and watched till you disappeared behind closed curtains with a smile on my face and i am sure, yours too.


Yes, more than a year has gone by, but as time grows on us so does my love towards you. I hope that this was a day you would never forget, because I know this was a day forever embedded in my memories. You are such a wonderful girl and I am so lucky to be in love with you. Happy 1 year anniversary baby. I truly love you. You really are a dream come true. xx

Yours only,
