Alex, Six years ago, I walked into a coffee shop expecting nothing more than a cup of coffee. I walked out having met the person who would change my life. I still remember sitting across from you and watching your whole face light up when you laughed. I wanted to keep hearing that laugh. Somehow, all these years later, it is still my favorite sound. We have loved each other across miles and time zones, through missed calls and too many goodbyes. Long distance taught me that home is not a place. It is the feeling of being known and loved by you. I promise to build a beautiful everyday life with you. I will make the coffee, share the chores, ask about your day, laugh at the same stories, and never take our ordinary moments for granted. When life is hard, I promise not to turn away. I will listen. I will be patient. I will stand beside you through uncertainty, grief, and change. I will remind you that you never have to carry anything alone. Alex, you are my safest place, my greatest joy, and my favorite person. I choose you today, and I will keep choosing you—in every season, across every distance, for all the days we are given.
