Originally written in Turkish, translated by OpenAI.
It all started with a letter.
On March 4, 2025, Sude wrote me her first letter.
That day, we talked about coffee, being a barista, and the small pleasures of life. That letter became the beginning of our connection.
For months, without sharing any photos, we got to know each other only through words.
With every line, we grew a little closer; with every sentence, we became a little more curious about each other.
Then, our voices joined our letters. Through voice messages, our emotions, excitement, and even our silences intertwined.
On April 12, I traveled from Adana to Bursa, the city where Sude lived, and we met.
On a rainy day, we saw each other face to face for the first time and hugged.
We walked, talked, and smiled together in Kültürpark.
On July 3, I visited Sude once again, and this time, we decided to become a couple.
Two months later, I made one of the best decisions of my life:
I moved to Bursa.
Now, on the next page of the story we’re writing together, I’m preparing to propose to Sude.
It all started with a letter…
But that letter was only the beginning.
Thank you, Slowly, for bringing us together.
