HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAHAL ♥

Happy 20th birthday, Mahal! Our very first birthday together! The first of many to come. I know that turning 20 can be overwhelming sometimes, especially with everything happening around you... and with us. Pero please know na I'm here. Always. In all ways. :)

We’re still young, pero despite that, we already know what and who we want. And that’s each other. I’m so proud of everything you’ve achieved, and I always will be. You’re growing into someone so admirable, and every day, pakiramdam ko, super swerte ko to have you. Alam ko kung gaano ka pinalaking maayos, kasi kitang-kita ko how you put up with me. You’re so patient with me kahit moody me or hard to love. You always find a way to understand me. Thank you, Mahal.

Sometimes though, I can't help magjealous kasi I wasn’t your first. Part of me wishes I was :( na sana tayo ang una sa lahat. Sana ako ang naging first love mo. When I look at you now, I can’t help isipin na “Sana ako na lang agad.” Pero that's okay! What matters most is that we still found each other. Maybe not agad-agad but definitely the one meant to stay. And we’ll make sure na we’re each other’s last. Sa lahat ng bagay, sa lahat ng pagkakataon, ikaw at ako LANG DAPAT. >:(

I know you’ll be an amazing husband someday, and an even more amazing father. Kahit maldita me sayo, kahit hindi ako palaging vocal, never forget na mahal na mahal kita. Mas mahal pa kita kaysa sa sarili ko. You’re more than enough, you’re my peace, my safe place, my home, bff ko, and asawa ko mwehhehehe

Thank you for choosing me. For staying. For loving me the way you do. Happy birthday, mahal ko. More milestones, more memories, and a lifetime of love with you. ♡
