Daphne:
Hi, love! Thank you for the flowers and
for celebrating my birthday with you.
I really love it. Thank you for everything.
I don't know if I really deserve it.
But I appreciate it so much.

Thank you for loving me the way I want to
be loved. Thank you for always being there
with me especially thru my ups and downs.

You are always there for me. I hope you also
become open with me like I do. Because in this
relationship we are one, we are together. No
matter what happens and problems that may occur
we have each other to overcome and fight for it.

Because you are not alone and we are together.
You are my other half, my soulmates, and
my partner that I really love the most. And I am
willing to understand and know you more.

I love you so much, love.
All I wish is to be with you forever.
I look forward to more dates with you.

Ryle:
Hi, love. You are welcome for everything.
It's my pleasure to make you feel the
love you deserve. You deserve everything.

Thank you for being kind and understanding
girlfriend. Don't worry, I am getting there...
You know I'm not used to have someone in
my life where I can be just myself. That's
why I am thankful and grateful to have
a partner like you.

And I know that we are together in this
relationship. That's why I am doing my
best to deserve you and make you feel
what you deserve.

I love you so damn much, love.
Remember I am always here for you.

Daphne:
Thank you again, love.

Ryle:
You are welcome, love.
Aren't you tired?

Daphne:
A bit. Pero kaya pa naman

Ryle:
Usap pa tayo?

Daphne:
Yes.
Do you have any questions or concerns?

Ryle:
About?

Daphne:
Anything.

Ryle:
Hmm, you know I am Trying to
be more open with you, right?

Daphne:
Yes, what about it?

Ryle:
Nothing. I just want to say sorry because
sometimes I become distant with you
when I am having a personal problem.
Because I feel like I should not make
you worry about it because it's my own
problem and not you. And I don't want
to be a burden in our relationship.

Daphne:
Hey, love. You don't have to worry about
that. You don't have to say sorry. I understand
what you feel because you are not used to it.
But, remember I am here with you. We are
together and it's okay with me if you share
what you are going through. It will never be
a burden to me.
May I ask why you feel like
you are burden to me?

Ryle:
Because I am a man I should be
strong and handle my problems
well.

Daphne:
We are together, right? So, you can tell me about
your problems, I am willing to listen to it.
Don't think about anything because you can be
weak or cry with me. There's nothing wrong with
it. It doesn't make you feel less of being a man.

Let's stop that kind of thinking, hm?
It doesn't make you feel less if you show
any vulnerability because you are human.
You have feelings and emotions.
Let's not invalidate what you feel.
So, what if you can handle your problem well?
So, what if you ask someone for help?
There's no problem with that, okay?

Ryle:
Thank you, love for being thoughtful and
have that kind of mindset which always
fascinates me. I admire how you think
and it's make me feel more comfortable
with you.

Don't worry, I am getting there because I
know I have you. I slowly change the way
I think and become more open with you.
So, that I can accept myself and be weak
with you or cry with you without invalidating
what I feel.

Daphne:
Don't worry, love. I am always here for you.
I will help you with that. You have me always.
Let's do it slowly. Baby steps muna
until we get there, okay?

Ryle:
Okay, love. Thank you so much.

Daphne:
No worries.
We'll take it slow. There's no rush.
Let's just be ourselves and think what
is good for our mental and physical health.
Let's be kinder to ourselves and take things
lightly so we don't be overwhelmed on what
will happen.

Ryle:
Noted, love. Take it slowly.
Just be ourselves and think
what is right for us. And of course,
be kinder to ourselves more.
Thank you, love. Because I have you...

Daphne:
No, thank you because I have you.
I love you so much...

Ryle:
I love you more...
Let's sleep and I know you're tired.

Daphne:
Okay, love.Good night and sleep well.

Ryle:
Good night, love.
