this summer, and hopefully this winter, will be wonderful. and eurotour, of course, is the trip we’ve been planning for over a year. if all goes well, that’s only a year and a few months away… how does time pass so quickly?

and once those trips are over, we’ll have others. national parks, of course! please take me to china. japan, russia, iceland… we have a long life of travelling ahead.

what was our plan if one or both of us got married to someone else? would our spouses have let us go off on these best friend trips every year? no, we needed to date and get married. obviously not just for the trips (there are many reasons why i think our union is beneficial for the both of us), but it’s so CLEAR that we were made for each other that it’s embarrassing that it took us so long to get on the same page. let’s do better next time, okay?

once we’re both finished school, we can move in together and get married. we can figure anything out when it’s the two of us, and you should well know by now that i will do anything and everything for you. we shall get our cat, we shall thrift some decor, we shall shop for furniture, we shall build our life together up from the ground, and we shall always be the happiest girls that have ever existed.

until then, i’ll continue writing you love letters and reminding you of my unwavering devotion to you. we’ll continue going on trips and weaving worlds together, strengthened by our shared inspiration and combined experiences. we’ll send hugs across the continent, discuss what we’ll do to each other when we’re together, and act on those promises when those times come. we’ll finish our studies, on wildly different paths that only prove how unshakeable our bond is. we’ll take photos together and apart, stay up into the late hours talking, and continue to gather ideas for our future home. i’ll tell you i love you as many times as i feel the urge, and i’ll call you beautiful until you stop wondering whether it’s a joke. i’ll send you songs and make you playlists. i’ll worry about you. you’ll make me feel so many emotions. we’ll continue influencing each other’s souls until an outsider will barely be able to distinguish where alfred ends and gabby begins.

and perhaps one day, when all these goals have been accomplished, when all my promises are fulfilled and all my actions come across, you will finally have all the pieces assembled before you. you’ll be able to take them up in your hands and fit them together, fingers trembling. when you do, in correlation with every sweet word i have ever given to you, you’ll finally be unable to deny my devotion. its evidence will fill your eyes, while its substance will have been filling your heart for years and years prior to that moment.

here is my devotion, as close to words as it can possibly reach. it will be laid at your feet in pieces, one by one, and you will pick each of them up. then, you will understand that which cannot fully be articulated. the first fraction is here, and the rest will come.


so please keep loving me back.
