My Dear Ray,

Happy 1st anniversary, my love.


I still can't believe it's been a whole year already. I can still remember how everything began: how unsure everything was, and yet how natural it was when I first kissed your lips. One year later, I find myself smiling and loving you more, and feeling more like myself than ever... all thanks to you.

You've made this past year one that I never want to forget; from the small quiet moments to the laughs that hurt my cheeks. Being with you has taught me so much about love, patience, and happiness. You showed me what it means to be truly seen, truly understood, and truly cherished.

Thank you for being my best friend, my comfort zone, my partner for my new adventures, and the person I look forward to sharing every tomorrow with :)

Thank you for all the love, effort, gentleness, kindness, and even all the silly moments that made everything lighter. I'm so grateful for this past year, and even more thrilled about everything that's to come.

A toast to our first year… and many more to come.


With all my love,

Zep Zapotex, the Emperor of Zaptonia.
