“1. i am twenty-one years old, and she messages me, “i really want to kiss you" 2. she is about to turn twenty, and we spend hours on the phone before the clock strikes midnight and i tell her, “happy birthday” and she calls me “baby” when she thanks me 3. it is one in the morning and i have decided that i don’t want anyone else to call me “baby” except for her 4. there are over three hundred miles between us, but in six hours, she closes the gap and i find myself in her arms for the first time. i’m shaking all over and her lipstick stains my neck and i whisper to her, “don’t let go” and she whispers back, “i won’t” 5. three days later, she lets go - she has to - and i feel so alone but my heart feel so full. 6. thank god for technology because even though we can’t be together as often as we’d like, not a day goes by where she isn’t with me - where i don’t hear her voice or see her beautiful face pixelated on my laptop screen or read her texts or screenshot her snapchats. 7. i am twenty-two years old, and she squeezes my hand as i blow out my birthday candles. i look to her and smile because my wish had already come true the moment i picked her up at the airport. 8. she just turned twenty-one and we stand together in her living room as i give her her birthday gifts, one after the other because i love to spoil her. her lips taste like cuervo when she kisses me and i still feel lightheaded, even though she’s been kissing me for twelve months now. 9. the clock strikes twelve on the twelfth month that we have been together. i turn to her, as we lie in the same bed for the first time in months, and for once, it isn’t just the same sky we are under, but the same covers. i curl into her side and feel her warmth, i kiss her shoulder just because i can. just because she is ther.e 10. three hundred and sixty six days have gone by and no one else has called me baby except for her. and no one else will.”
