I Love A Dinosaur ♡

hi, happy anniv!!

i’ve never celebrated an anniversary before, and maybe that’s why i’m struggling to put into words just how much this means to me, but i’ll try my best.

one whole year is crazy. it doesn’t even feel real. just a year ago, you were simply someone i liked, and now you’re someone i find difficult to imagine life without. time flew too fast, yet i feel as if you’ve been here the entire time. there was a version of me that existed before you yet that version now feels nonexistent. one year is just a fraction of forever, but if forever feels like this — like you, i’d stay until my old body completely decomposes underneath my grave.

i want to thank you for staying strong with me despite the complications that came along the way. you taught me how to love and gave me the love that i never knew i could bring into my life. in you, however, i've found more than just love – i’ve found a home. your presence has become my sanctuary, where your hugs wrap around me like wings, offering warmth that no blanket could ever replicate on a cold night. when you’re here with me, everything feels aligned, as if the universe finally makes sense. you've taught me that it's okay to let my guard down, to show the parts of myself i’ve always hidden away. somehow, you make vulnerability feel like strength. before you, i was a closed garden – now i'm blooming. you've planted seeds of joy in places i thought were barren, and your smile alone is enough sunlight to help me grow. even at times when i reach my lowest, your gentle reassurances feel like lifelines, anchoring me when I feel adrift. you've shown me that being strong doesn't mean carrying everything alone.

i never used to think much about tomorrow, let alone forever. however, you've given me something beautiful to look forward to — a future that feels less like a distant concept and more like a promise. you've become my safe harbor, the person who makes me want to be better, to care for myself the way you care for me. the way we've opened up to each other, sharing our brightest hopes and deepest kinks (LMFAOO) , had made me feel truly seen, for perhaps the first time. in your eyes, i'm not just understood – i’m cherished. you've shown me what it means to be loved not despite my flaws, but with them.

one year feels both like a lifetime and a blink — but i know it's just the prelude to our story. thank you for making me believe in the kind of love i used to think only existed in poetry. with you, every day spent with you feels like coming home, and i can't wait to spend countless more years discovering new reasons to fall even deeper in love with you.

thank you for being my unexpected blessing, for being my safe space and my home all at once. here's to us, to the flowers we've grown, and to all the gardens we've yet to plant together.

as much as i’d love to say more, your birthday is just around the corner. i love you more than words can ever express.

yours truly, ☆
