Today, he said that the best thing that he has ever done is getting back in touch with me [before we started dating]. I am somewhat irritated (but impressed) that it took him that long to say something other than you shtink.

My happiest memory from our relationship is when he first kissed me. Earlier that day, I asked him if I could kiss him on the cheek. You know, nothing intense. He blushed and said ok. So I did.

Later on that day, my cat escaped from the backyard and went into the neighbors' yard. I did not want to jump a fence alone (I really am not a big fan of heights), so I called Charlie. I also thought this would be a decent (but not desperate lol) enough reason to get him to come over. So he did.

We were hanging out at my house (after saving my cat), and playing DDR. He played guitar. Before he left, and these are his exact words hah, he said "May I return the favor?" like this is some sort of business affair. Hah I laughed at him and said yes. It was sweet and short. I remember going to my room after he left, and thinking this was the greatest moment on earth. No emotion could compare to when you realize you are really, truly in love, and you cannot wait until you get to see that person again. I remember smelling the pillow (we were hanging out in my room, him playing the guitar), and never wanting to fall asleep because eventually the smell would go away, and I wanted it for as long as I could have it. I fell asleep clutching that pillow, and I do not recall a time before that day that I smiled so much. And was sincerely happy.

Before Charlie, I do not remember a single day of pure joy. I get offended when someone (ahem Kirill) points out something negative because in all honesty, I don't care. I have Charlie. Nothing I know of can make me as happy as hearing his voice. Or holding him close. Or kissing him... Blows my mind.

I want to do something big for our anniversary. I want to show him exactly what he means to me.
