We might not have everything figured out, my love. But if there's anyone I want to figure it out with, it's you.

Let's watch a movie so we can laugh together. Hearing your laugh makes me feel like you're here.

You are an absolute wonder of a person, you know that?

I still remember the day I got off the plane. Nearly two years and twelve hours of travel had lead up to this moment.

I spotted you before you saw me.

From a distance, I saw you standing there amongst a small crowd. Your famous grey hat, my favorite shirt, your adorably awkward gait.

I was seeing it all for the first and millionth time.

I ran off the escalator and into your arms.

There you were, perfectly huggable and intimately real. You weren't just pixels anymore. I could feel your living, breathing self laughing and holding on tight just like I was.

We swatted each others' forearms playfully to make sure we weren't dreaming. We had yearned for this for so long. Years. I spent every second wishing I could hold you.

And here I was, doing just that.

I couldn't believe I had made it to you. There was a time you didn't believe I'd try.

But I did.

I made it to you, my love, and I long for the day I can do it again.

Happy anniversary, Coughdrop.

I know you hate those candid photos I take of you

But I cant help it, my love. They are the closest thing I have to being by your side while we are apart

[autistlove]

I knew I loved you from the moment I saw your silly hat.

I've always thought it was funny, yet charming, how I always wake up before you despite being in the earlier timezone.

As you've said yourself, we could consider "sleepy" a personality trait of yours.

All of that being considered, I think it's fair to call you "Sleeping Beauty".

Don't you? 💖

Oh to drive under desert skies and watch the sunset over the river with you
