My dearest Jimmy,
I could have sent you two words: Happy Diwali. But then I looked at our picture, and two words suddenly felt far too small. So I made you this. Every light, every little heart, every word here is for you.
Jaan, this Diwali we’re not officially a couple. I know that. But I also know what I want: a Diwali where I don’t have to imagine you beside me, because you’re already there. Where I can look at you and think, “Finally. Us.”
“Next Diwali, we’ll celebrate together as a couple. That’s my promise to you, jaan.”
I dream of us lighting diyas side by side, sharing sweets, watching the sky sparkle, and smiling because we finally get to call this our Diwali.
Until then, let every little light on this page remind you of one simple thing: I love you so, so much.
