A Birthday Love Letter

It all began with a concert...

I still remember that evening vividly. My auto rickshaw pulled up at the Indiranagar club and you got in- hair wet, tight fitting (almost muscle) tee, handsome as can be. Ufff! I still remember the mixture of nervousness and excitement I felt through that ride. Who were you? Who was I?

Little did we know we’d have a lifetime to slowly unpack that. And GOD how lucky am I… are we?!

It was the concert, then a little comedic night at the club, then our first trip to Goa and that was that, we haven’t looked back since! Over the last few years, there’s been movement and there’ve been what’s felt like periods of stagnation, rest, solitude and quiet. In retrospect though, it’s all really been growth! We’ve changed, and we’ve grown with and into one another. We’ve learnt how to give and take and move with each another. We’ve learnt how not to take the other for granted and we’ve learnt from and with each other over the years.

I still pinch myself to see if this is real life- I’ve got you, we’ve got a home, and we’re slowly but steadily moving towards our dreams. Life isn’t always easy, we have our moments, but oh how goddamn fortunate are we! You’re everything I never knew I wanted, you’re everything I never knew I needed, you’re the most magical person I have EVER known and what an honour it is to be doing life with you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, once again, lover, and best friend! You make me proud every day!
