1 year

So today, july 11 marks an interesting milestone in my life, and that is for saying something lightly.

Last year, at this time of the day i was sitting right here were i am now, anxious, waiting for you to get your break so we could talk for a bit, for the first time.

History was made that day, after that talk i ended holding your house keys, you trusted this kinda estranger guy enough with your keys and access alone to your house.

Stuff and actions meant different for each of us that day, i had no idea what to expect, was this going to be a one off? a NSA kinda situation? was this going to be nothing and i'm over thinking? was i over reading? was i just gonna be told to go home?

i had no idea.

and that was the whole point in the end.

I don't believe in god, but i do believe that for some reason we were put on the same road at the exact moment in time it was meant to be.

I fell in love with you when i saw you in person for 5 minutes outside that burger king, and i fell hard, but i didn't know it at the moment, i just walked back at my place thinking about what i was feeling, mostly a "thing" i guessed and moved on.

Now again, 2026, one year later and i wanted to replicate the experience, and that's imposible.

i drove here to the store where you work, last year i took a bus, wearing my small samsung headphones that are now yours, orbital 2 playing on my headphones.

I stared from the corner, wondering if i should enter. i did.

the rest, again, it's history.

One year since later today, one year ago i stole a kiss outside your place, planets aligned for that to happen where and how it did.

I remember it as vividly as i can, for that moment, we were the only two people in the world, like a comic, like a tv show, like a cheap romantic movie, it was only us, kissing, holding.

you stole a kiss from me?

yeah

and i would do it again.

 i would repeat that day every day, in every single universe.

Life is so different now, we live together

our lifes are intertwining, our times, our routines, our whole universes.

We talk about the future now, we work on the present too.

We are not perfect, this was never perfect, i look at this with rose tinted glasses, of course, because mostly it was.

i walked to your house, you gave me the keys

and i never left

i fell in love with you

i fell in love with this place

2025 was a year of tests, of moving from survival to just existing, to overcome how stuff work, how new stuff works, how stuff i have never understood before, got understood.

and sometimes i fear or i feel scared, because i expect sometimes life to come back with a check, hey it's time to pay, but no, that's not how it works anymore.

I love you, so fucking much.

Kiwa, your tiger.
