I still remember the exact moment my life changed forever. It was not a big event. No dramatic music, no rain, no slow-motion walk. Just you standing there, smiling at something silly I said, and in that one second the whole world became quieter.

And I knew I was never going to be the same again.

Since that day I have carried you in every thought, every breath, every dream. You didn’t just enter my life — you became my life. Every plan I make now has your name in it. Every future I imagine starts and ends with you.

I have waited so long to tell you everything that lives inside my heart. That’s why I wrote these nine chapters. Please read them slowly. Feel every word. Because every word is written only for you.

Take your time. I am right here with you.

I love the way your eyes shine when you talk about something you’re passionate about.

I love how you remember the smallest details I tell you — even things I forgot I said.

I love the way you say my name when no one else is listening.

I love your laugh — the real one that makes your shoulders shake.

I love how you make ordinary days feel like magic just by being in them.

I love the way you hug me like you never want to let go.

I love that you are kind even when the world is not.

I love that you are my safe place and my biggest adventure at the same time.

These are just a few of the thousand reasons. Every single day I find a new one.

Do you remember our first long talk that lasted until sunrise? I still smile every time I think about it.

Do you remember the day we got caught in the rain and danced like crazy people? That was the first time I felt truly alive.

Do you remember the late-night drives where we played our favourite songs and sang at the top of our lungs?

Every memory with you is stored in my heart like a treasure. I go back to them when the days feel heavy. They always make me feel lighter.

These moments are the proof that we were always meant to find each other.

Whenever I miss you, I play these songs. Every single one of them reminds me of your smile, your voice, or the way you look at me. I made this list for you — Hindi and Nepali love songs that live in my heart because of you.

Play any of these songs and think of me. I am always thinking of you when I hear them.

I love your kindness when no one is watching.

I love how you make everyone around you feel special.

I love the way you look when you are focused on something.

I love your voice when you sing even if you think you are bad at it.

I love how you care for your family and friends.

I love the little habits you have — the way you twist your hair when you are thinking.

I love that you are strong but still let me take care of you sometimes.

Most of all, I love that you are YOU — perfectly imperfect and completely mine in my heart.

I dream of waking up next to you every morning.

I dream of cooking together and burning the food while laughing.

I dream of travelling to new places and making memories in every corner of the world.

I dream of quiet evenings where we just sit together and talk about our day.

I dream of growing old with you, holding your hand even when our steps are slow.

Every single dream I have now has you in the centre.

I promise to always make you feel loved.

I promise to listen when you need to talk.

I promise to support your dreams even when they scare me.

I promise to be patient on the hard days.

I promise to choose you every single day for the rest of my life.

These are not just words. These are vows I am making to you right now.

I have been afraid to ask this because I don’t want to lose what we have.

But my love for you has grown so big that I cannot keep it inside anymore.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

I love you more than yesterday,
but less than tomorrow.

You are my home, my peace, my greatest adventure.
Will you let me love you for the rest of our lives?
