our story so far
Every path led back to us. ๐
You asked me that in a dream, honey. One day I'll answer you for real, under the real sky. ๐
Take your time with this one, honey. I meant every word. ๐
I don't know if there are enough words in this world to explain how much you mean to me โ but I want to try.
If you're reading this right now, I hope you know every single word comes from a place that's completely honest. This isn't just a message. It's a little piece of my heart that I wanted you to keep โ a reminder of how loved you are, and how special you are to me.
Sometimes I sit back and think about our story, and it still feels unbelievable. We met years ago, and somehow โ after all the time, all the distance, all the moments where life took us in different directions โ a part of my heart still remembered you.
We had chapters where we were close, chapters where we were apart, moments I thought maybe our story had already ended. But somehow life brought you back to me. And this time, something feels different. This time, it feels like we're finally where we're supposed to be.
You probably don't realize how much happiness you bring into my days. Sometimes it's the smallest things โ your name popping up on my phone, hearing your voice, talking about random nothing with you, just knowing you're there. You have this way of making ordinary moments feel like they matter.
I love how I can just be myself around you. I don't feel like I have to prove anything. With you, I can exist, love, and be loved.
And for me, that person is you.
I don't just love the happy version of you. I love you on the days you feel tired. I love you when you doubt yourself, when you feel lost or lonely, when the world feels too heavy. On those days, I hope you remember you never have to face any of it alone.
I want to be the person who makes you feel safe โ the one you run to when life gets hard, who celebrates your wins, comforts your tears, and stands beside you through every season.
I know we can't predict tomorrow. We've felt how easily time and distance can change things. But right now, I know one thing: I want to choose you.
I want to know your dreams, your fears, your little habits, all the tiny details that make you you. I want to make memories we'll look back on years from now and smile at.
You're not just someone I love. You're someone I cherish. You make my worst days better. You make me excited about the future. You remind me that some connections are worth waiting for.
So thank you โ for coming back into my life, for giving us another chance, for being you.
I love you more than I can explain with words. And I hope every time you read this, you feel the love behind every sentence.
August 2026. Five years, and then you were real. ๐ฅน
"Bangkok. Pattaya. Us โ finally in the same place."
After all those years of screens, there you were. Real, warm, close enough to hold. We got drunk together and told each other everything โ no walls left, nothing hidden. Just us, all the way open.
You looked so cute drowning in my clothes โ my hoodie, my sweatshirt, all of it swallowed you whole and I couldn't handle it. So beautiful in that white dress I couldn't stop staring. You got jealous, you got protective, you held on to me like you were scared I'd disappear โ and honey, all of it just made me love you more.
We took care of each other the whole time. Loved each other with everything we had. Made memories I'm going to keep for the rest of my life. ๐
Tap each one to open it โ like tiny letters hiding in the clouds.
"koko, are those malibu skies?"
You asked me that in a dream, honey โ looking up like the sky already belonged to us. I woke up and couldn't shake it. For the longest time it was just a dream we shared across a screen. Then in August we sat under a real sky together, side by side, and it stopped being a dream at all. ๐ค
Malibu's still on the list. But it turns out the sky was never really the point โ you were. ๐
She made this. Our whole dream, in one picture. ๐จ
Our map so far. It's only getting bigger. ๐บ๏ธ๐
Everyone has a song. We have a whole discography. ๐ง
Funny how we even got here. Neither of us found LANY first โ Lauv did the introductions. "Mean It," "Never Not," "ILYSB" โ one of those pulled us in, and somewhere in the rabbit hole, there was LANY. And that was it. ๐ณ๏ธ๐ฐ
the songs that opened the door
Look at that. For you it's Taylor first, then LANY. For me it's Paul first โ and Paul is LANY. So really, we both put them right near the top. Different number ones, same second place, same band that somehow ended up being ours.
That's kind of the whole thing with us, isn't it? We don't have identical taste. You've got your Taylor, I've got my Paul. But there's this one place in the middle where it all overlaps โ and that's where the good songs live. That's where we live. ๐ค
Ten songs that sound like us โ and what a couple of them really mean. ๐ง

My all-time favorite. And back in 2023, it became yours too โ of all the songs in the world, you picked the same one. That's when I knew: we don't just listen to the same music, we hear it the same way. ๐
โถ play it for usIt's a song about not being able to be cool about someone. About caring so much you can't pretend otherwise โ trying to be careless and failing completely.
That's just me, about you. I've never once managed to be casual where you're concerned. And then in 2023 you told me it was your favourite too. Out of every song ever written, you picked the one that already sounded like how I felt. ๐ฅน

๐ press play, honey. ๐ง
Everyone hears the title and thinks it's a song about someone being flawless. It isn't. It's the opposite โ it's someone saying I'm not the safe choice, I'm not the easy one, I'll probably drive you madโฆ but if what you want is something real and a little reckless, then I'm perfect for that.
It's a love song that doesn't promise to be neat. It just promises to be honest โ and to show up.
That's the version of me I want you to have. I'm not going to pretend I'm the perfect anything. But for you? For the 2am talks and the dreaming out loud and the going-and-coming-back? I'm perfect for that. I've got you, honey. ๐ค










Your all-time favorite. Your mother, apparently. ๐๐

Of course it's this one. You asked me about Malibu skies in a dream โ and your favorite song is called Wildest Dreams. You were living in that title before either of us noticed. ๐ฅน
Mine is Careless. Yours is Wildest Dreams. Put them together and that's justโฆ us. Reckless about each other, dreaming loud. ๐
โถ play her song๐ press play, honey. it's yours. ๐
It's a song about wanting to be remembered by someone โ even if it doesn't last, please don't forget me. It's beautiful and a little sad, and of course that's the one you picked. You feel things that way.
But here's my answer to it, honey: you don't have to be a wildest dream. You don't have to settle for being someone's beautiful memory. I'm not going anywhere, and I'm not the forgetting type. ๐ค
Water and fire. The dreamer, and the one who dreamed her. ๐๐ฅ
They'll tell you water and fire don't mix. That a Pisces feels too much and a Sagittarius runs too far. That we're built wrong for each other.
But here's the thing nobody warned me about. They say Pisces is the dreamer โ and you're so much of one that you didn't even need to be asleep for it. You got into mine.
I was the one dreaming, honey.
And there you were, asking me about the sky. ๐
That's the part that gets me. A Sagittarius dreams about the road โ the going, the next place, the horizon. And when my head finally made one up on its own, it didn't put a map in it. It put you in it. You showed up in my own dream and pointed at something beautiful, the way you always do.
So let them say water puts out fire. You feel everything, deeply, all at once โ that's not too much, that's why you're the one who notices the sky at all. And I'm the one who hears you ask about it and says okay. let's go find it. You dream it awake, I'll get us there. That's the whole deal.
Water shapes the land it moves through. Fire keeps going when it's dark and cold. You've softened me. I'll keep us warm. That's not two signs that don't fit โ that's two halves that finally make sense.
Also, cute detail: you added me on 18 February 2021 โ right on the edge of Pisces season. You were about to become yourself, and there I was, getting a Snapchat notification that changed everything. โ๐ป
And look โ you pray on Sundays, I light incense. Different signs, different elements, different gods. Everything about us is supposed to be a mismatch on paper. โช๐ชท
Somehow we've still been each other's since 2021. Paper doesn't know what it's talking about. ๐ค
Every path led back to us. ๐
Tap the heart whenever you need to hear it. ๐
Quieter down here. Just for a minute. ๐ค
I'm scared of losing you, honey.
There. That's the thing under all of this โ under the bunny and the songs and the silly games. I built you a whole sky partly because I'm terrified you'll stop wanting it.
When you go quiet, I notice. Faster than I'd ever admit. I check my phone like an idiot. I read our last messages back trying to work out if I said something wrong. Some part of me is always half-braced, watching the door, waiting to find out that this was the time you don't come back.
You've come back before.
That's exactly why it scares me.
It means I know what the leaving feels like. ๐ค
And I'm not telling you this so you'll promise me anything. You don't owe me a guarantee. Nobody gets one of those, and I'd never ask you to carry mine. This isn't me putting a weight in your hands.
I'm telling you because it's true, and because you should know what you are to me. People don't get scared of losing things that don't matter. The fear is just the size of the loving, turned inside out. If I weren't scared, it'd mean you weren't important โ and God, you're important.
So I've made peace with it. I'd rather be scared with you than calm without you. Every single time. That's not even a hard maths problem.
And if you ever did go, honey โ really go โ
I still wouldn't undo a day of it.
Not 2021. Not the quiet years. Not one minute of you.
You'd have been worth it anyway. ๐ค
okay. that's all. back to the bunny. ๐ฐ๐
Come here whenever it's heavy. I left these for you. ๐ค
Follow the bunny. In through your nose, out through your mouth.
I've been away three years. You've been right there. Add yours โ you know it better than me now. ๐๏ธ๐
๐พ Saves on this device. Add your places, honey โ half this city is new to me now. ๐ค
Tap through them, one by one. Take your time, honey. ๐ค
Your turn, honey. I've done all the talking. ๐
This goes straight to me. Write as much as you want โ I'll read every word. ๐ค
got it, honey. thank you.
You're my favorite dream, honey โ and the one I actually plan to make come true.
