You woke up one cold morning, your cheeks were very puff from last night's late night ramen. You scoot to the other side of the bed and reached for your phone, you checked if there were any messages from him. You let out a deep breath, you still don't know why he stopped talking to you. It's been days, you just got to the point were you wished that he would just come over.
You got up, took a bath and ate your breakfast. You sat on a chair on your front porch, you stared at the beautiful view outside. The sound of the air just wooshing, the cold breeze that touches your skin. You opened your eyes and looked around, you saw a familiar figure standing from afar.
You decided to approach, as soon as you got closer you were able to recognize who it was just by looking at his side profile and his height.

It was him. Jeff. Your boyfriend.
You hugged him from his back and waited for him to talk. It was almost five minutes of silence from him, you know ever since the day he stopped talking to you something was up. He's the type of person that rarely shares his struggle because he believes that it might attract negative energy on your relationship. But you, you're really okay if he mentions things like that because you know how hard it is not to have someone to talk to when you're struggling.
He sighed.
"I'm sorry." he said
"Sorry for?" you asked as you hugged him tighter
"You know... for not talking to you for days..." he answered
"It's totally fine, I figured out something was up and that you might needed a lone time for yourself." you said
"No, I feel really bad." he said
"I'm the worst." he said
You held his hands and looked at him.
"No you're not, like you said we're both not perfect. I have my lapses you have yours. But, I'm your girlfriend I'll stick with you and you know that." you said
He stared at you.
"Thank you babe." he said and smiled
"You ready to talk about it?" you asked
He nodded as he turned around to face you, head down.

"So ... what is it?" you asked
"Well..." he said as he looked down
"It's okay baby, take your time." you said
You stared at him as he kept on looking away and on to the ground, it must be a really serious thing and he's having a hard time to say it. But you understand him anyways because he always tries his best every time this happens.
"First off, I am really sorry for not talking to you for three days." he said
You giggled.
"I told you it's okay." you said and smiled to reassure him that everything's okay
"It's just .... I have been thinking of ..." he uttered
"Of what?" you asked
"Well..." he said
"You've always been there even at my very worst, even at my darkest time. You still see my worth after all of that. I just..." he paused
You stand there confused as to where this conversation is going, but you let him speak anyways because it would kill you if you interrupt him and if he forgets what he's going to say.
"I just want you to stay forever, you know ... let me just hold your hand." he said
"I have never ever had somebody who truly cares for me aside from my friends. I never thought you would take me seriously." he continued
You suddenly remembered how he teared up telling what he has gone through back in high school. Were he confessed to the person he liked and made fun of him for falling into a trap. That's why ever since that happened he is having a hard time sharing how he feels and you're really glad that he's doing pretty well right now sharing his thoughts.
He looked at you.
"I would stay with you forever ..." you said
"Like .. forever forever?" he asked
You chuckled and nodded.
"Okay so, it's okay if I'd make you my wife someday? If ever we'd get there?" he asked
"Yes it's okay and don't you used to say you can do anything if you put your mind to it?" you asked and he nodded
"Good. So let's do it, let's stay forever and let's get there." you said
"Mom was right about you, you're not only pretty but also kind and very genuine with the things that you say and do." he said
"I was right about you too, I knew that it's really hard for you to share things and I'm beyond glad and proud that you were able to do it today." you said

"So uh ..." he paused
"Hmm?" you said softly
"You said we can stay forever, right?" he asked
"Hmm, yeah. I said that seconds ago. Why?" you asked
"I just want to keep you forever." he answered
He pulled you in for a hug, kissed you on your forehead.
"Can I be your husband?" he asked
You paused for a bit, smiled and hugged him tighter.
"Will you marry me?" he continued
"Yes of course, you can be my husband." you said as he knelt down and pulled a ring for you to wear
