Reasons I Love You

An incomplete, ever-growing list. Currently at reason #17, will never actually finish.

😊

Your smile

Every video call, the second you smile, I forget whatever bad mood I walked in with. It's honestly not fair how much power you have.

🧠

How smart you are

You think about things properly. I learn something new about the world every time we talk.

🫶

You check on people

You remember what matters to the people you love, including the small stuff, even across a huge time difference.

🌏

You made distance feel small

Indonesia to wherever I am is a lot of miles, and somehow talking to you still feels like being in the same room.

🗣️

Love has no language

English isn't your first language, but you've never once failed to make me understand exactly how you feel.

💪

How hard you try

At everything. School, us, your goals. You don't do things halfway, even from thousands of miles away.

🌙

Late night calls

Some of my favorite conversations ever happened when it was already tomorrow for one of us.

🫣

You call me out

You don't let me get away with nonsense, and honestly, I need that.

🎁

You chose me

Every single day since Dec 24th, out of everyone, from all the way across the world, you keep choosing this. Me.
