can i be your boyfriend, can i? can you believe it's been a year, can you? and i still get the same amount of flapping eagles whenever i think about your rooftop dance and the question that solidified everything for us. you know what's funny is that i've had your custom labeled as "loml" for the entire time it's been there. even when we were just "best friends" i always knew you were more than that. our love was growing steadily, the kind of love that's built to last.

i am genuinely so proud to be with you. i remember being overjoyed to finally get to use that word: boyfriend. not only because it symbolized commitment to our future, but also because we no longer had to dance around the question of what we meant to each other. we let the world know, officially, that i'm yours and you're mine. to this day whenever you call me that word i get a flutter, and whenever i use it to refer to you, i can't help but beam in awe that my dreams actually came true.

it's amazing to know that someday, i'm going to be calling you my husband and the father of our children. as we celebrate this milestone, it gives me both the warmest comfort and the giddiest excitement to think about all the other experiences we have ahead of us. one year down, forever to go. i love you!!!
