Dear Husband,
You remember, you asked me once, “What convinced you to marry me?” I replied, “Our Friendship”. Well, it is true. That is the only constant relationship between us since we met. From colleagues to crush to stranger to boyfriend to fiance to husband to father of my child, you have always been a friend first.
I still remember our first real conversation, you made me feel so comfortable that I told my entire life story that night. I am glad you didn’t give up on being friends with me. I am glad you waited for me that day. I am glad we became friends that day. After that day, there was a string of study sessions, long walks, inside jokes, secret meetings, stealing glances and there was no looking back. Its going to be a decade but I still re-live those memories every now and then.
It was destiny that you were single and willing to mingle with me, after three long years of separation. Willing to discard your prejudice about long-distance relationships and embracing the time zone difference. Waiting up late at nights, just to ask about my day and see my face.
I remember the time when you were a bridge between me and your family to make me comfortable before wedding. You standing by me when there was a difference of opinion. You supporting me to quit my well paying job and follow my passion. You advising me to take up the onsite opportunity after our marriage. You being ecstatic after hearing the news of our pregnancy. You holding me tight when I cried. You giving me strength to overcome our imperfection.
We may not be the ideal couples but I enjoy our passionate discussions and binge watching sessions and doing different things in the same room. I like the way you make me laugh. I like the way you teach me things without preaching about them. I like the way you push me to get out of my comfort zone. I like the way we don’t keep a grudge about a fight next morning. I like the way you correct me, although I don’t like it most if the times. I like the way you keep your calm, even when I vent out unnecessarily.
Despite my ‘pachas hazaar baar’ wali complaints, I love you and the way you are. I love the fact that you are mine.
I love you to the Sun and back.
Forever Yours..
