to el,

an encyclopedia of our love.

a is for aprons. like the one time you and me tried to cook. i think we were trying to make some kind of pie, probably blueberry or something because you love blueberries. it was just you and me that day at your dad's house. and i wore this dorky star wars apron. and i don't know if you did it one purpose, but you wore this small silky one with a pink ribbon around your waist. and i couldn't pay attention because you just looked so cute and beautiful. i couldn't focus on the pie and i almost burned the pie crust

b is for balloons. we went in a hot air balloon when you turned 16. just the two of us. i mean the operator guy was there because we would not have survived without him, knowing our clumsy selves. but i drive us to the place and paid for everything. we felt free. that was when i first told you i was in love with you. and you said it back right away, is if you had known you'd loved me since forever.

c is for chocolate pudding. for when we were at the school when we were twelve. dustin was looking for chocolate pudding and we were waiting for hopper and mrs.buyers to come back from the lab. but i was waiting to invite you to live with us- and to come to the snowball. and in that moment, where i saw you so curious about life and what it holds, i saw you. i got a glimpse at the future i hoped to have with with you. and i kissed you too. that was pretty cool.

d is for damaged. you've had a pretty screwed up life. i've learned that. but i'm.....im honestly at a loss for words at the incredible woman you've become. you've overcome so much, you don't even understand. you don't know how many people would break down after what you've been through, but you're different. it made you stronger. you're tougher than i'll ever admit, and i can't describe how proud i am of you.

e is for eggos. kind of expected, since you've loved eggos about the same amount of time you've loved me. and even though they're delicious, i always felt like they represented hope. because every time i would give you one, your eyes would light up and you'd smile wider and you seemed to have more hope.

f is for family. you've had a complicated history with family. i never really learned much about your birth parents. you had your mom and the man at the lab but none of them loved you like hopper did. hopper came around and took care of you during the 353 days i couldn't. he make sure you were safe and he taught you how to lead a normal life. and i'm glad he did- and now i'm your family, too.

g is for the gate. when you went to close the game i couldn't stop worrying for you. i was in that lab. there were demadogs and destruction everywhere. i could think of was one attacking you just like it did to bob. i couldn't get that image from replaying in my head. so i rounded up the gang and we distracted them, and even though i was still scared as shit for your life, i felt like i was somehow doing something that could help save it.

h is for home. i've always heard that "home is where the heart is." i know my house isn't a home because my parents are ignorant of me. i know school isn't a home because i never feel safe with troy on the loose. all i know is that i feel cared for and safe with you. so i guess you're my home.

i is for ice.. for your first real winter in hawkins, where i took you out on a snow day. it was me, you, dustin and will. we brought sleds and we must've sled down every mountain there was. sometimes at the end, i would purposefully rip the sled over so you would fall of top of me and i could kiss you again while you giggled at my terrible sleep riding skills.
