Here in Brazil, we celebrate Valentine’s Day on June 12th. We just call it Dia dos Namorados—Lovers' Day. I’ve never really spent it with anyone before. It was always just a normal day, nothing special.But this year was different.I spent it with my best friend, Ycaro.

I made him a Pinterest board, and he gave me the sweetest drawing, it made me SUPER happy. We also watched Submarine (2010), one of my all-time favorite movies. I’ve seen it maybe seven or eight times now, and I never get tired of it. I don’t get tired of the things I love.

And I love him.

I’ve been thinking about what to give him for Christmas—maybe a poem, or a fic, or even something like a little carrd/rentry page. I’ve still got six months to figure it out, but I want it to be special.

Spending that day with him meant more to me than I can say. He never gets tired of me. He never tells me I’m too much or too boring.

God, I love him.

I think we’re soulmates, even if we’re not exactly alike. He’s the only person who really gets me—the only one I feel safe telling everything to.

I just hope he never leaves.
