To the one who has been there for me since the last 15 years,

They say it well that it doesn’t really matter who came early or late in your life, what matters is who stuck through. And you’re one of them.

I believe we all love people for a particular set of reasons. And given a chance to articulate, we particularly know why we love them, what makes them different and the kind of things that you learn from them.

Saumya, I love you for so many reasons. I love you for the kindness you have. I love you for the warmth you spread around. I love you for your big bear hugs. I love you for your utmost dedication and passion towards whatever you do. I love you for your innocence and the confidence that you radiate. I love you for taking that leap of faith and trusting yourself with your passion as a makeup artist. I love you for maintaining so much balance with people, things and experiences. I love you for what you are to me but I love you for what you are to the world as well.

You’ve been there for me through all the highs and lows. Celebrating my achievements. Sticking through the right and the wrong decisions I made. And you still chose to be there for me.

Saumya, we have shared too many firsts. And I am sure we are gonna stick through too many lasts too. I just want you to know that you mean the world to me and no one else can ever take your place.

All the love to you until we meet again. If you're wondering what is wrong with me, I hope you know I'm as weird as you are. There are days when I miss you so much and today is one such day.

Warmest,

S
