Each day, we were growing closer.
Each day, I found something new about you.
You were a puzzle, and I were now solving you, little by little.
Knowing you was enjoyable.
I liked your traits, how funny and clever you were.
And I loved your flaws, how easy you get mad and how hard it was to change your mind.

We were in your room, it was a sunday afternoon, and we were revising together for the upcoming exams.
You asked if I had chosen what to study in college, I told you that I wanted to become a teacher like my father.
You told me you were sure that I will be a great teacher and that I should work hard.
I asked you if you will come to my college graduation party and you paused thinking for a moment and my heart was jumping.
My graduation was not the issue.
I wanted to know if you will still be with me four years later and after.
You answered If I could, I will never miss it.
I frowned.
Then you smiled a dazzling smile, one I could never get bored of and said you haven't chosen yet.
