"Before you, I was fine with silence. Now, I want a life where I can speak, love, and be loved back." I used to keep things to myself. Not because I didn’t feel anything, but because I didn’t think anyone would understand it. Then you came into my life. And suddenly, I wanted to try. Try to open up. Try to explain how someone like you makes everything feel different. You make me want to be seen. You make me want to give more. Even on the days when I overthink, or when I go quiet, the thought of you makes me want to be better. Not to impress you, but because you already make me feel worth loving. You make being soft feel okay. You make loving someone feel brave instead of scary. And I love you, Xədicə . With all the quiet, all the effort, all the hope I’ve got in me. You are my baby. You are my safe place. And this letter is just for you. Always you. Xədicə .

"If the world doubts what I feel for you, let it. My love wasn’t made for their approval. It was made for you." People will always have opinions. Some think love has to follow a certain path. That it only counts if you're holding hands or sitting across from each other. But I don’t need to explain this to anyone. They weren’t there when I listened to your voice. They didn’t hear the way you sang for me. That moment didn’t have to be long to be unforgettable. You didn’t even try to impress me. You were just you. And that was enough to stay in my heart. We haven’t had our first call yet. Maybe because we’re both quiet people, a little shy. But what we’ve shared already means more than most people’s loud stories. I don’t need noise. I just need real. And with you, I have that. What I feel for you doesn’t need to be shouted into the world. It only needs to be known by the one it’s meant for. And that’s you, always you. I love you, Xədicə . No distance changes that...

"Loving you doesn’t just make me feel alive. It makes me feel safe in a world that often isn’t." Not every day is bright. Some days feel heavy for no clear reason. The kind where I just want to hide, go silent, and let the world pass. But even in that quiet, you’re there. Even when you don’t know it, you give me something to hold onto. Your presence is steady. I don’t mean constant messages or perfect timing. I mean how your name, your voice, your way of simply existing in my life gives me calm. Like I don’t have to fight so hard just to feel okay. You’ve never demanded anything from me. You’ve just stayed. And that’s more powerful than anything loud or flashy. You’ve become the part of my day that feels like home. Like no matter what’s going wrong, I still have something that’s right. I love you, Xədicə . I love you in the quiet. In the stillness. In the moments no one else sees. That kind of love doesn’t burn out. It holds on. And I’m holding on to you. ...

"I don’t care what destiny wrote. I’m the author now, and every page screams your name." I never believed in fate. Not really. But when you came into my life, everything started to feel different. Even then, I didn’t love you because of some sign or cosmic plan. I loved you because you felt right. You still do. You’re not some random piece of my story. You’re the part that changed the whole meaning. The day you showed up, everything started making sense. You’re not just the girl I love. You are my reason to fight harder, love louder, and stand taller. You’re the one who makes the world quieter when it’s too loud, and warmer when it gets cold. I didn’t fall for you. I chose you. And I'll keep choosing you. Every day. Every time. No questions. No second thoughts. This is for you, Xədicə . My love, my home, my everything. 🖤
