Happy 45th Birthday, Baby

Update: Photos from the day. Breakfast, lunch, cake – sorry about dinner because I wasn’t feeling well.

Halo Baby,

Time flies. It seems like only not too long ago that I made plans and invited you to have a special dinner at Mansion 32, due to the prohibition of celebration last year. And now, a year later, here we are. Many things have happened since then, we are now officially together, we are in contact every single day… well except a few times when we “broke up” – so that doesn’t count. That being said, I wish to reaffirm my love for you. I wish to tell you again that – you are the most important person to me in the world. I know it sounds boring after hearing it for the hundredth time, but I don’t care, I need to say it out to you, again and again. I wish to tell you that despite my current financial setbacks, nothing will stop me from achieving success. I wish to tell and reaffirm to you that I will bring you to places, and experience the world which you have missed out on, for the past 40+ years.

I know things haven’t been smooth sailing all the time, but I think every couple needs to go through the tough times, to be able to enjoy the quiet times, right? It’s how to emerge from our tough times that define who we are as a couple, and I think and I feel that we are making some good progress in this aspect. I just want to tell you that every time I look at you, my heart still jump a little happy dance inside. I wish to tell you that every time we walk together and you automatically hook your arms to mine, my feelings as a man goes up a notch, I am so happy and proud that you are doing that when you’re with me. I hope it never stops, I hope it gets more and more. I want you to know also that when we walk together and I hold your waist or hands, the feeling is just the same as when it first happened a long time ago, the feeling of bliss and contention. I know sometimes you might think I am exaggerating, but trust me, I am not. The immense joy that I get from all these physical interactions really does boost my confidence and love for you, as I told you before, my love attachment style is anxious partner, so I need physical touch and words of validation to feel safe and loved by you.

Today is your special day. Let’s make some nice memories, and take some nice and funny photos to keep as memory, for us to look back in the years to come. I hope that my arrangement for you today does bring you a little bit of joy and happiness, but if it’s not up to mark, please forgive me, for I have limited financial ability at this moment to give you expensive gifts and great dining experiences. I promise when things gets better, the enjoyment of life will be yours to experience. I have so much things that I want to do with you, but for this moment, the ones that I can give you will suffice for now. It is with great pleasure that I can proudly call you my partner, my girlfriend, and soon, my wife. Thank you for the love that you have given me, for the warmth and affection that you have shown me, for the time that you have so painstakingly churned out to be with me. I love you so so much.

Happy Birthday, Zerline Baby.
