once again, happy birthday.

• i ended up rambling for hours and i wasn't sure how to wrap this up, but i want to end this on a note by saying that i love you. at first, i was so hesitant to tell you that i loved you. i knew i was ready to say those three little words, but i didn't want to get ahead of myself when i was sure you weren't prepared for that leap in our relationship. i was afraid that i would scare you away when you might not be willing to hear such a heavy phrase yet. i was tempted to chicken out and wait until we would both be ready for that special moment, but i was too certain of my feelings at the time and i had no other way to hold it in any longer. finally, i mustered the courage to spit out those words and i sure don't regret that decision i made. i know you haven't reciprocated that phrase and you're still not in that stage to return such deep emotions, but that doesn't mean i love you any less. i hope you won't forget how important it is for you to remind yourself that i'll never rush you into anything. take your time and take a break if things get suffocating for you. i'll wait if you need me to. i'll always wait. you're the first person who has ever made me feel so strongly about someone and i don't want to give up on you just because i'm the partner with stronger feelings about what we have. it doesn't matter to me. as long as you're mine and i'm yours, there's nothing that can separate us. i'm forever yours. happy birthday, min. i know birthdays aren't entirely your thing, but i still thought i'd take the time to give you something special. after all, you make every day special for me. this is the least i can and want to do for you. your baby wishes you the happiest birthday ever and hopes that you'll come back to him as soon as possible after you devour the best birthday cake there is.

p.s. i would not only like to thank god, but also min's cutest mom for bringing him to life and blessing him with her cute genes. and thank you, min, for being born. there's no other way to phrase it. i'm really just so grateful that we can be together in the same lifetime. you're one of a kind and you hold that special place in my heart that no one can ever replace. i'm your number one fan and i'll always support you in whatever you wish to accomplish. i'll do my best to treat you right and give you the world because you don't deserve any less.
