To my (future) significant other,

I am going to warn you right now; I am a mess.

I am an oxymoron.

I may say something ridiculous with a straight face, and you may not understand if I am telling the truth or not.

9/10 I am telling the truth. That 1/10 time, I am trolling you.

I will do my best to be honest with you. I will try to be considerate of your feelings and space, since you may need more of it from me.

Love me sincerely. Love me with enough space for me to breathe. Love how ridiculous I am.

If I am upset at you, unwrinkle the creases between my furrowed eyebrow.

Write love letters to me. Wipe away the tears from my eyes when I get emotional. Insist on being kind to me.

Watch anime with me, or just be with me.

Tell me your fears, hopes, aspirations… Let’s go and adventure.

Or stay at home, watch a shitty movie, and fall asleep spooning.

In the beginning, I might doubt our relationship, push you away, run… but if you prove your permanence and commitment to staying in my life, know that I will keep my grasp firm on your heart and treasure every moment thinking of you, being with you, and simply, you.

With love,

Kim Thanh
