It’s been half a decade since I first asked you to be my partner. Of course, this year has been different since we’ve been long distance. There has not been a single night where I haven’t thought about you before I fall asleep, longing for you to be by my side. I miss you endlessly. I take a look around my room. I see all the little flowers you’ve given me. I see the little box where I keep our memories together. I see the handmade trinket trays with the rings you got for me that I wear every single day. I think about our daily phone calls. Every “How are you?”, “I got that internship!”, “So…when are you coming home?”, “Did you see Cafe Elliot’s new menu?”, and “I love you.” So no matter how much I miss you, every night I’m reminded how close you are to my heart and soul. You are the moon to my sun. Your beauty is unparalleled to anything or anyone. I count the days where our journeys bring us under the same roof. But until then, I take pleasure in the memories and conversations we share until I get to hold you in my arms again. Happy 5 year anniversary Bestie! I can’t wait to see you today 🩷🩷🩷
