a little letter, just for you
I keep thinking about how lucky I am. Out of everyone in the world, I get to spend my life with you. I'll never get over that.
You make everything feel easy. Even just sitting next to you feels like home — like I've been on my way to you my whole life and didn't know it.
yours, Akshay
about you —
Your eyes are the prettiest eyes I have ever seen. I have to actually stop myself from staring. I lose my train of thought when you look at me.
You are soft, and kind, and ridiculously pretty, and when you laugh my whole day fixes itself. I love every small thing about you — especially the small things.
You are perfect. That's all there is to it.
the little things
I love our evening video calls.
I love your late-night texts —
the way your name lighting up my phone makes my whole day better.
After the longest, hardest days,
just hearing your voice undoes all of it.
Every single time.
The world is loud. You make it quiet.

my promise to you
I love you, Nanditha. I always will.
I promise to spend the rest of my life making you feel as loved as you make me feel. To listen — really listen — when you talk. To laugh at your jokes, even the bad ones. To bring you tea on bad days, and pick the right songs on the long ones.
I promise to choose you. Every morning. Every quiet evening. Every loud, messy day in between. I promise to remember the little things — the songs you hum, the way you take your chai, the look on your face when you're thinking.
I promise to be your safe place — your home, no matter where we are. To hold your hand when the world feels heavy. To sit beside you in your sadness without trying to fix it. To celebrate every one of your wins like it's mine. To love your family like my own.
I promise to tell you you're beautiful — especially on the days you don't believe it. To pray for you, and with you. To never let a day end without you knowing, exactly and completely, how loved you are.
I'm yours, Nanditha.
Forever and always.
