To 2015.

Dear you,

It’s been a tough year. Every passing day brought with it a wind of change, what we held so close to us in the year before was ripped into pieces and thrown aside. Swinging in and out of our own emotions, this year has tested our patience, built a disbelief about everything we believed in.

It’s been a harrowing year. We both lost grandparents this year, both left us right before we wanted to rush home to them with something that we bought them from our first salary. We sit with the regret that we could have been there and smiled with them as they strained their losing memory to remember which city we were living in currently.

It's been a tumultuous year for love. We sat there in the beach, scribbling names in the sand and thinking the waves will take our wishes along with them, only to realise that two months down the line, it never really mattered that much. We have spent hours talking about why it happens to us, why don’t we deserve the right one and why does everything lead to disappointment.  

But I'll tell you another story...

This year has been the year of expectations. We have had our hearts broken, our love forgotten yet everytime love stops by, we smile, we hope and we know that one day things will get better. You may have dismissed your own belief, but everytime, everytime I have come to you with the idea of giving up, you have given me the strength to build dreams again.

This year, we have lost and gained family members. We lost a dear one, we cried. But we also gained a dear one. And there have been times when we sat down with the new member of the family and talked about the other dear one, who is always watching upon us.

This year has taught us a lot. From that two-day trip we took to be with each other to the constant messages, we have shared each and every memory even though we are far apart. We have tried to pull our hair out in frustration but in those times have also learnt not to do the same thing again. We have grown and understood more.

This year we have had all the experiences we had only dreamt of, the good ones and the nightmares.

This year we have been there for each other at every single step.

So, my love, this year has been amazing.

Here’s to 2015 now.
