Letters

Hey sweetheart,

Today is your birthday. It's been 6 and a half months with you and I swear every day I love you more. Every day I discover something that makes me say "she's perfect". You have no flaws, you're adorable, a very pure soul with a perfect personality.

Every day I realize it, and I love knowing that I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you, hugging you, kissing you.

You are and always will be my little Babita. I love you so much, my sweetheart.

I wish you a very happy birthday and a beautiful year, my love (by my side, obviously :) )

Hi, my love. Now that you're sleeping peacefully, I wanted to go back to our old traditions and write you a letter.

First of all, I want to apologize for forgetting some things and for not paying enough attention to a woman as wonderful as you, my beautiful girl. Sometimes, when I'm a bit more stressed than usual, my mind clouds over, I forget things or I lose focus. Forgive me, darling, but this week I've had several exams and, strange as it may sound, I'm actually not someone who dislikes taking exams. However, I knew I wasn't ready for any of them. And that's exactly what tears me apart: the uncertainty. Not knowing what will happen tomorrow, not having the topics of the next day's exam down perfectly... All of that keeps spinning around in my head. Luckily, I hope I won't have to go through something like that again from now on. But anyway, let's stop talking about that. I wanted you to wake up in the morning with a smile on your face, although maybe the beginning of this letter, instead of making you smile, took your smile away, hahahaha.

My love, it's been exactly six months! Can you believe it? How incredible! We've been together for exactly 194 days. My heart couldn't be more full of love. I love loving you, giving you my affection and receiving all the love you give me... I adore that beautiful smile of yours, and your laugh... Ugh, that laugh 🥹 (sometimes I can hear it when you unmute your microphone). I hope that one day 194 won't be the number of days we've been together, but the number of months. Because, Elif, my beautiful girl, I want to spend the rest of my life by your side. Waking up every morning and seeing a beauty like you next to me, giving you a little kiss on the forehead before I leave for work... Those are some of my biggest dreams and wishes. Thank God, I know that one day they'll come true. And when that day comes, you'll be the best doctor in the world.

My beautiful girl, you're the strongest person, the one who holds up best through hard times, the most hardworking, the one who puts the most effort into her studies, the smartest and the one with the kindest heart I've ever met. In this immense universe there's no one who deserves success more than you. Every day I fall in love all over again with that personality of yours that shines so brightly, that fills people's hearts with warmth and leaves anyone in awe of you.

How lucky we are that you exist, Elif.

You're one of a kind, my love. I love you so much.

Hi my love, first of all I hope you're sleeping wonderfully. I love you with all my heart. Honestly, I'd been thinking about doing this for a couple of days, but I was way too tired hahahaha. Sorry for neglecting this side of me that I know you like so much (and so do I). Just knowing that not only this letter but all of them have made you smile, with that hypnotizing smile of yours, my love, just that is enough to make me happy.

I want to tell you, my love, that I love you with all my heart, that you're the best thing that has ever happened to me, that you're mine and I'm yours. I don't mean it in a possessive way hahaha, I mean that I don't want to meet ANYONE else, never. Honestly, love, I don't know what I'd do without you, I don't know what I'd do knowing that tomorrow I wouldn't get a message from you, that tomorrow I wouldn't get an "I love you" from you. I hope that never happens, because truly, you're already my other half. I couldn't live the rest of my years without my Babita by my side.

I love you so much, Elif. I want you with all my soul and I adore you like no one else. You're my role model so many times; so often I look at you to do certain things, especially when I went to study. I'm suuuuuper sure that if I hadn't met you I would never have gone to study at the library, and if I hadn't gone, I probably wouldn't have passed. Thank you for being in my life, and I thank God for letting me meet you.

Sleep well, Babita. I love you.

Good night my love. Today I thought about you a lot, especially while I was celebrating Málaga's win and promotion to La Liga. I wish I had been with you celebrating it. I know tomorrow is your second exam and I wish you the best of luck. I know you'll do great, my beautiful girl. I love you with all my heart. Don't worry too much, life is beautiful and it always puts us where we belong, and where you belong, love, without a second's doubt, is greatness. I hope I can always live up to an amazing woman like you, my love, a woman so sweet and loving, so caring and kind, so beautiful and so huggable.

Elif, my girl, every time I think of you a smile comes to my face. Sometimes I try not to think about you because I'm in front of people and it would look weird hahahaha. I'm madly in love with you.

With my little psychiatrist, I hope I get to see all your achievements by your side.

I love you.

Good morning sweetheart. I don't know if you'll read this on the 20th (today) or later, I just want to tell you that I love you, that you're the best thing that has ever happened in my life, and that this exam is going to go great for you. I've never stopped believing in you and trusting you. I know my beautiful girl will be a great psychiatrist. Don't stress too much, bitanem.

Even though I don't think you'll read this on the 20th, that's okay. Today and tomorrow I'll write you a little message hoping it helps you, even just a tiny bit :). I know that right now you're probably very stressed. I was like that less than a week ago, but it's okay. You always have to trust yourself, always know that your head is playing tricks on you, that we're worth it, that we can handle anything.

I'll always trust you, my love. Whatever happens, I'll always be by your side and I'll trust you. You did it for me, and I do it for you. I want you to know, love, that you make me feel very special and very worthy. Thank you for existing, my little one :)

I hope it goes great for you, my love. I'll be praying for you. I love you.

Hi my loooove. I'd like you to read this message especially right before your exams. Even though I know you obviously won't read it right now either, I hope I can also help you before your exam.

I know today is an important day, but don't you worry. Nobody in that room taking the exam with you is worth more than you. You're the best person I've ever met and you're going to be the best psychiatrist on this planet. Don't stress, sweetheart. If you get stuck, it's better to move on and come back later than to let your mind cloud over. I trust you, my love, I know you'll do great.

I want you to know that I'll always be here, and I promise you that when you graduate I'll be there, in the stands, watching my little one fulfill her dream.

But first we have to get through this exam. You're ready, you're amazing, don't doubt yourself. You know this, my love. You can do it.

I love you so, so much, my love. I wish you the best of luck, mwah :)
