every moment that made us

The first texts
Where it all started — just words on a screen. I checked my phone way more than I should've, trying to play it cool. Spoiler: I wasn't playing it cool at all.

The first note
The first thing I ever wrote you. I remember thinking I'd never sent words that mattered as much as those ones did. Turns out it was just the beginning.

Taco Bell parking lot, 1am
Our first real night together. Hours of talking under those buzzing parking lot lights, the first kiss, the whole world going quiet around us. Nothing has sounded quite the same since.

I love you
I said it first. Not because I was supposed to, not on some perfect timing — just because I couldn't hold it in any longer. I meant it then. I mean it more now.

You said it back
You told me you loved me, and then you put it on paper — your ten things note. I've read it more times than I'll ever admit. I'll still have it when I'm old.

Our first time
Closer than we'd ever been. Quieter. Just us, with nothing in the way.

Our first hotel
Our first night away — no interruptions, no clock, no hiding. Just a door that locked and a whole night that was ours.

Our first whole movie
One we actually made it all the way through without falling asleep or getting distracted. A small thing, but it felt like ours — the kind of ordinary moment I'd been wanting with you.

You said yes
The day you agreed to be my girlfriend. Officially, finally, out loud. I don't think I stopped smiling for a week.
- FEB42023
Our first public date
Out together, in the open, no more secret. Holding your hand where the world could see — that's the day I felt like I'd actually won at something.
Still choosing you
Every ordinary morning. Every random Tuesday. Every quiet night where nothing happens. Same answer, every single time: you.
