Life wasn't the same after the 19th of Feb. We had now official become 'Us'. With every step, I didn't have a second guess of what I want because I was never clear about anything. But after her 'Yes', I knew I was in the right moment, that there was nothing more I wanted in my life than you. I wish you were my first love because if you were first, then there wouldn't have been no second, third or fourth love. If anyone would ask me what the best side of me is, I would just take a step back and point at you. Not once did I think before giving my heart away to those infatuated so called "lovers" of my past, but when I saw you, my heart was the one that just said "Go for it! She's the one!"

Our daily talks and texts had become such a big important part in both of our lives without which our day just felt abnormal. The first time you said "I Love You", my heart literally fell head over heels and from that moment on I knew that I couldn't' love anyone else other than you and could never give anyone the place you hold in my life.

The first two months since we couldn't meet because of our exams, we spent all our time together on text and over the phone and never did we get bored of talking to each other even when we had nothing to say and silence dropped between us for a couple of minutes. With her, time just flies by, moments just last forever and making these moments throughout the way, we then got to the day of our first month anniversary. We both didn't know how one month just flew past but our love had already grown so strong that nothing could tear us apart.

On the 19th of March, exactly at 12, we both sent each other messages marking our 1 month of our love together. Her message said:

"I promise to always lift you up when you're feeling down.
I promise to wipe you're tears when you feel you need to cry.
I promise to keep you smiling to show that amazing smile you have.
I promise to be your strength whenever you fall weak.
I promise to be your voice when you can't find words.
I promise to be your eyes when you cannot see.
I promise to be your ears when you cannot hear.
I promise to always tell you what's real when you want to hear the truth.
I promise to be your smile when you're frowning.
I promise to always cheer you up when you are down and blue.
I promise to give you faith when you are feeling insecure.
I promise to keep you sturdy when you are feeling unsafe.
I promise to listen when you need to talk.
I promise to tell you no lies, just what is true.
I promise to always lend you my shoulder for when you need to cry.
I promise to always hold you when you need someone.
I promise to always care for you wherever you are.
I promise to always be there.
I promise to never hurt you and never break your heart.
I can't promise you the world. I can't promise you the sky. I can't promise you that I'll never cry. But I can promise you that I will always be true to you and baby I promise that I will always love you more than anything with all my heart, no matter what happens or what we go through. Baby I'll love you until the end of time! I'll be your guardian Angel. That's my promise to you!!
Time just flies away staying with you! Never want to lose you.
Love you a lot Ashish!"

This message of hers literally brought me to tears because for the first time in all my life did someone truly care and love me for who I am and promised to always stand by my side. She's the only girl to make me feel like I'm special and like I have a purpose in this lifetime. Never had I dreamt of having someone who not only loves and believes in me but also for knowing all my faults and drawbacks but still loving me not any less than she does.

She never stopped showing me how much she loves me and how much I mean to her. Even on my birthday, she was the first one to wish me and to make my birthday the most special one ever. Though she couldn't make it for my birthday, she surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. That itself meant so much to me and made my day! I felt so loved and the luckiest guy to have someone as amazingly perfect as Bug in my life.

Finally after a long wait we planned to meet up. Bug, her best friend and I planned to meet up nearby her place. We walked around the mall, had lunch together, spent time talking about school and pulling each other's leg. Since Bug wanted to watch Iron man 3, we went for it. During the movie, I was sitting between Bug and her friend, I kept looking at Bug and even got caught looking by her but still couldn't stop even after because she looked so beautiful. Half way through the movie, Bug and I kept laughing and talking barely paying attention as to what was happening in the movie and Bug's friend kept getting irritated because we were laughing a little loud and it was disturbing her from watching the movie. After the interval, Bug got so bored with the movie that she literally took out her ear phones and was listening to music in the theatre. She was the one who chose to watch the movie and she ended up listening to music in it. That was the crazy highlight and memory of that movie with her. After the movie, we thought we'll grab a bite so as we walked towards the food court, they stopped and didn't want to go in as it was extremely crowded, so Bug's friend asked if I could get her something to drink as well. I agreed and as I walked towards the food court, I heard Bug say out loud, "Oye, why you making my boyfriend do so much of work?" Her best friend and I both were standing in shock looking at Bug because she said it out loud in a crowded place. My jaw dropped and was least expecting her to say anything like that. Let alone anything like that, it was the first time I heard her call me her boyfriend out loud. That just made my day and was the best memory of that day. After that again walked around the mall and spent the entire evening with each other and at the end while dropping her, her mum had come to pick her up so went and met Aunty and made a good first impression.
Our love just didn't cease to grow. With each new day, our love multiplied hundred times. We made memories every single day despite being away from each other in two different corners of the city. Distance never caused us to love each other any less, but got us to miss each other more and more.
