SOMETHING MADE JUST FOR YOU

Hey,
Yarin!

I made you a little corner of the internet for your birthday. Naturally, it had to be pink.

for Yarin, on her birthday

Happy birthday,
pretty girl.

Two weeks of getting to know you, and I already made you a whole website. That should tell you everything. ā™”

two weeks together, still learning about you

Notes just for you.

okay, that's all the notes. for now. 🌷

okay, let me be specific

Things I keep
noticing about you.

Since you sent me these photos, I get to be a little embarrassing for a minute.

Yarin smiling at the camera, with her glossy black bob haircut and a mustard yellow sweater

and also

Your eyes.

I love that deep brown color. They go all soft and squinty when you smile like this, and honestly the smile might be my favorite part. I might stare a little when we're talking. Just warning you.

first of all

Your black hair.

It's so shiny and silky-looking, and it frames your face perfectly. And you're always switching it up into some new character or look you're feeling that week. I love watching you become whoever you want. Never stop.

There. I said it. You're very, very pretty. ā™”

A NOTE FOR YOUā™” Y.

okay, here goes

Dear Yarin,

Happy birthday, Yarin. šŸ’— I hope you eat something amazing today and get at least a few hours without having to think about uni.

We've only been together two weeks, so I'm still collecting facts about you. So far: cosplay, drawing, cooking, spicy food, Katy Perry, and one very specific favorite song I'll remember. And pink lilies. I'm not forgetting those.

You're seriously pretty. I keep trying to say that casually, but it never comes out casually in my head.

I know uni's been keeping you busy, so I hope you get a day where you can relax without feeling guilty about it. I also have questions about you and Indonesia, but I'll try not to turn your birthday into an interview.

I'm really glad we're dating. It's only been two weeks and I'm already making you a website, so apparently I'm not great at playing it cool.

Have a lovely birthday, Yarin. I wish I could be there to celebrate with you. 🌷

From me,who definitely likes you a lot ā™”

P.S. I know this is cheesy. I’m leaving it in.

one last thing

Have the best
birthday, Yarin.

Eat something spicy. Laugh a lot. Try not to think about uni for a few hours, please.

Happy birthday, Yarin! 🌷

Unfortunately, I can't give you flowers in person, but I'd happily order some lilies and have them shipped to you. Pink ones, obviously. I can send brownies too, or whatever sweet treat you're in the mood for. Just tell me what you want. šŸ’—
