Seven magical years of friendship · My favourite person in every universe
Until Your Birthday
Our Love Story
Since July 21, 2020
Come back at midnight on June 10th, My Dear Lovely Ridhima 💖
My dearest, my most beloved Ridhima,
Seven years of friendship, and now something even more breathtakingly beautiful — you and me, together, completely. I never imagined I would find someone who fits into every corner of my life so perfectly, like you were handcrafted just for me. And honestly, in my heart, I truly believe you were.
I have loved you from the very first moment you walked into my life. Not just as a friend — but as the kind of love that changes you, softens you, makes you want to be better every single day. You make me want to be better. You make everything better just by existing in it.
You haven't been feeling like yourself lately, and I wish with every single cell in my body that I could take every drop of that weight off your shoulders. I hope this little world I built for you — just for today — wraps around you like the warmest hug and reminds you how deeply, wildly, endlessly loved you are. Not just today. Every ordinary Tuesday. Every sleepy morning. Every hard day. Every single day you breathe.
I remember every tiny thing. Every quiet glance. Every late night we spent talking about nothing and somehow it felt like the most important conversation in the entire world. I remember the streets we walked together, your laughter echoing and making everything brighter. That train journey that changed us into what we are today. Those dates, those movie nights, those good morning messages, those car rides where we sang too loudly and didn't care — every single moment we ever shared is carved so deep inside me, they'll never, ever fade.
Darling, you are my calm. Honeybun, you are my sweetness. Laado, you are literally my happiness, walking and breathing. Kammoji, you're the colour in every ordinary day I live. Sweetheart — because there is truly no better word for a heart as kind and pure as yours.
We've faced so much together, my love, and we are still standing. Still choosing each other. Still here. That is not something small. That is everything. That is the most beautiful thing I have ever been part of.
Welcome to your 21s, my love. I hope they are absolutely full of everything you deserve — joy, peace, warmth, glowing health, every happiness, and all the love I have for you, which is more than I could ever find words for.
Here's to seven years of the most wonderful friendship, and forever more of us — you and me, always.
Forever and completely yours, Rohan 💕
Little windows into our world — let them live here forever
Every chapter of our story, written with love
A reminder, in writing, of what makes you absolutely extraordinary
If I had a thousand lifetimes and a thousand languages, they still wouldn't be enough to describe you fully. But let me try — because you deserve to see yourself exactly the way I see you, every single day.
You give so much of yourself to everyone around you — sometimes too much — and it is one of the most powerful things about you. Your kindness doesn't make you soft, it makes you extraordinary. The world is genuinely a softer, warmer place because you are in it. You are such a pure and precious soul.
Not just the way you look — though you are absolutely breathtaking — but the way you exist in the world. The way your eyes light up. The way you laugh until your whole face changes. Beauty, inside and out, in every single direction. You are the most beautiful person I have ever known.
You have carried more than most people will ever know, and still you show up. Still you smile. Still you love fiercely. That is a strength that takes my breath away every time I see it. I see it, Ridhima. I've always seen it. You are my "SHEEERRR" — my absolute lion. 🦁
The way you love is rare — deep, devoted, and entirely real. You don't do half-measures. When you love someone, you love them with everything you have. I am the luckiest person alive to be loved by you, Ridhima. I really, truly mean that with my whole heart.
There is no one in this world like you. Not one. The exact combination of everything you are — your mind, your heart, your soul, your laugh — is entirely unique to you. You are one of a kind. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are "Miiiiinnnnneeeeeeeeeee". 💙
On my worst days, just hearing your voice makes everything quieter inside me. You don't even have to do anything — you just exist, and somehow the whole world feels less overwhelming. You are my peace. Always. My safe place in every storm.
The way you think, the way you see things that others miss completely — it is one of my absolute favourite things about you. You are so much more intelligent than you give yourself credit for. I learn something from you every single day. I genuinely admire the way your mind works.
You are not someone who deserves ordinary love or ordinary treatment. You are precious — the most precious thing I have ever known. My kuchupuchuuuu matkiiiii. I will always, always handle you with the most immense care. You matter more than I could ever fully express.
You are my happiness. My reason to smile even on the days I forget how. My joy, my peace, my calm, my safe place — all in one beautiful person. And I will always, always take care of you. I will give you infinite love and a thousand reasons to smile, every single day, for as long as I live.
The honest truth about what this distance feels like
I know being apart is genuinely hard. But I also know, without a single doubt, that our love is more than strong enough to hold us through every mile of it.
There are nights when the silence feels too loud. When I pick up my phone a hundred times just hoping for your name to appear. When a song plays and all I can think about is you — the way you'd sing along, the way you'd smile. Distance is not just geography. It's that hollow, aching feeling of wanting to share a moment with you and not being able to reach you.
I miss you in the most ordinary ways. During dinner. When something makes me laugh and you're not there to laugh with me. When I see something beautiful and my first instinct is to show you. When you're hurting and I can't hold you — that one is the hardest. It breaks my heart every single time.
But even in the missing — even in all of it — I feel so lucky. Lucky that there is someone to miss this much. Lucky that you exist in my life even across this distance. That counts for absolutely everything. You are everything.
I know with complete certainty that when I am by your side, everything is just better. The whole world resets. You become happier, lighter — and so do I. Every call where we laugh too hard, every moment we share even through a screen — it reminds me exactly what I am doing all of this for.
I think about what it will feel like to actually be in the same place. To walk beside you. To sit with you in that perfect comfortable silence. To say goodnight in person instead of through a screen. I think about it more than you know — and it keeps me going on every hard day.
Every plan we have, every future we talk about late at night — it is the light I walk toward. And when we finally close this distance for good, it will feel exactly like the beginning of the life I was always meant to be living. With you. For real. Forever.
"The distance means so little
when you mean absolutely everything."
For everything you're going through — I want you to truly know this
My love,
I know you're going through something really, really difficult right now. And I don't say that lightly — I mean I know. Not just the surface of it, but the full weight of it. The way it follows you even into moments that are supposed to feel okay. The way it sits on your chest and makes everything heavier than it should ever have to be.
I want you to know that I see all of it. I understand the exhaustion. I understand the overwhelm. I understand how hard your situation has been — the pressures, the things that feel so out of your control, the quiet pain you carry while still smiling for everyone else. I see it, Ridhima. I see it so clearly, and I love you through every bit of it.
And I am so deeply sorry that I cannot be there physically to hold you through it. That is one of the heaviest things I carry — knowing you are hurting and not being able to just show up beside you. That absence hurts me too, far more than I ever say.
I also know — and this is the part that is hardest to write — that sometimes I have added to your pain instead of reducing it. That I haven't always been the person you deserve in those moments. For that, I am truly, genuinely, deeply sorry. You deserve softness. You deserve endless patience. You deserve someone who never, ever makes a hard day harder — and I am going to be that person for you. I promise you.
I am not perfect. But I am trying, every single day, to be better for you. Because you are worth every single effort. You are the reason I want to grow. You are the reason I want to be more.
Please hear this: your pain is valid. Everything you feel is completely real. You are not being dramatic. You are not being weak. You are a human being going through something genuinely difficult, and you are handling it with more grace than you even realise.
I'm here. Not where I should be, physically — but here, completely, in every way I possibly can be. I am not going anywhere. Never. I will be there soon — in your arms — and the world will feel like a happy place again. I absolutely promise you that.
Yours, always and completely, Rohan 💕
Something waiting just for you, My Dear Lovely Ridhima
You've scrolled all the way here. You've read every single word I wrote for you. And so here it is — something I've been saving just for you. Are you ready?
These are my promises to you — not birthday wishes, not sweet words for a single day. Real, actual promises. Things I will do. Things I will be. Written here so you can always hold me to them.
On your hard days, your boring days, your days that feel impossible and your brightest days too — I will be here. Not just when it's easy. Every single day, without exception, I show up for you.
When you need to talk, I will listen — really listen. Not to respond, not to fix, not to move on. Just to hear you, completely, in every word. Your voice is the most important thing in any room.
I am not perfect — but I promise I will never stop growing. I will never stop trying to be exactly who you deserve. Every version of me will love you better and more completely than the last.
This is temporary. I will not let miles define us forever. One day we will be in the same place — under the same roof — laughing and living together every single day. And it will have been worth every hard night we got through.
Whatever happens, whatever changes, whatever challenges come our way — I am not going anywhere. You are absolutely stuck with me, in the very best possible way, forever and always.
Not just on birthdays. Every ordinary Tuesday. Every achievement, every small win, every moment you simply exist — I will celebrate it. I will celebrate you, my kuchupuchuu babuu, my jaan, always and forever.
Happy 21st Birthday,
MERI JAAAANNNN. 💖
— YOURS, ALWAYS AND COMPLETELY, Rohan 💕
In the story of my life, meeting you was my favourite chapter — and every chapter after has only gotten more beautiful because you're in it. You're not just my best friend. You're my person. The one I choose, with everything I have, every single day.
You deserve every drop of happiness that you so freely pour into everyone around you. Today, let the whole world celebrate you the way I do — completely, endlessly, without any reservation. You are the most extraordinary person I have ever known.
You've been through so much and you are still here, still standing, still loving. That isn't weakness disguising itself — that is the most breathtaking kind of strength I have ever witnessed. I am so proud of you, my Laado. MERI CUTIEE SHEERRR 🦁
Every single moment with you feels like coming home to the warmest, safest place. May your 21st year bring you peace, warmth, laughter, and so many reasons to smile that gorgeous, heart-stopping smile of yours.
I fell for your laugh before I even understood what was happening to me. And I still fall for it, every single time. Every single day. I always will. Happiest birthday, my most beloved Ridhima. 💖
Memory 01
Before we met you were anxious, a little lost — and then somehow I found you. We ended up together and the rest, as they say, is the most beautiful history I have ever been part of.
Memory 02
All those nights we stayed up talking about everything and nothing — those are the moments I cherish most deeply. Our conversations are the absolute highlight of every single day.
Memory 03
Every moment we spend together is a treasure I hold closer than anything. Your presence makes even the most ordinary moments feel completely magical. We really do look so wonderfully, perfectly cute together.
Memory 04
I love you for exactly who you are — not for who you perform, not for who you think you should be. You are perfect as you are. I love the way you think, the way you laugh, the way you make me feel like the luckiest person on Earth.
Memory 05
We've been through every kind of phase together and we have always, always come out stronger — side by side. You are my constant, my calm in every chaos. I will meet you very soon and love you even more. I love you so much, meri jaan. Forever. 💙💛💜💝
