For Darasimi

Hey, My Lady.

There's something I've been wanting to say properly. Not in a text. So I built you a little place to say it.

They say good things take time.

So I texted you on the beautiful morning of August 21st.

You replied ever so warmly. I was surprised at how nice you were. I was drawn to keep the conversation going, and I'm so glad I did.

our first date.

It's the small things.

The way you check up on me when I don't reply, or when I've been gone a while. Your morning texts. All of it.

I've enjoyed every single bit of it.

And it made me realise something.

I don't want this to just be conversations anymore. I want it to be us.

Darasimi,
will you be my girlfriend?
