Every moment
with you
Six months of the most beautiful things I have ever known. I want you to see what I see when I think about us.
Superman at Sarit
I was so tense I could barely finish my food at Rift Valley Spur. We walked, and you kept looking back I noticed what you were looking at. Then we sat in the dark and watched Superman together and something in me was already gone. That was the beginning of everything.
I was stressed you would never speak to me again. Then my best friend ordered groceries and the universe delivered a Coke with your name on it. I took it as a sign.
The movie that started it all
God sent a sign, a Coke that said your name
Karura
I already loved you by then. We walked through Karura and we raced and you laughed and we hugged and we kissed one of the most beautiful things I have ever done in my life. And when it was time to go, we invented an excuse to walk to the road just to steal a few more minutes.
The walk where I knew
Waterfront
The night before, you called me and forced the words out of me. You already knew you just wanted to hear it. I said it. I meant every syllable. You said it back, and the world rearranged itself. The next day at Waterfront we talked for hours and just held each other and I loved it so much.
The day after you made me say it
Will You Be Mine
Two months of knowing, planning, writing. I wrote a whole book for you because words on a screen were not enough. When I asked you, I had never felt anything like that in my life. I never knew my heart could hold so much love and still have more room to grow. You said yes.
Picture 5 is a collage every small thing that led to that one moment.
The question, the answer, the beginning
Valentine's
You were feeling down the day before and I was worried about you all night. But we met and it turned into something beautiful. Gifts. Daniel Caesar playing in the Airbnb before we even went to dinner. That evening lives in me still.

The Picnic
Snacks and coloring books and you across from me with the sun on your face. That afternoon I felt something so still and so certain. You bring me peace in a way I have never known. That is when I knew ,truly knew ,that you are the one I want to be with forever.

Peace
I do not know what you are carrying right now
But I want you to know that whatever it is, you do not have to carry it alone. I am here. I have been here. I will be here.
You have shown me what it feels like to be chosen, to be peace, to be home. Whatever comes next if it is goodbye, I am grateful for every single thing in these pages. If you will still have me, then I am the luckiest person alive.
Please talk to me. I can hold it.
