campus, | told Mum that | wanted to move to the sbuilding. No, I'm not a stalker. | just want to be close to

her. | want. her to look atdifferently. I'm done being the guy who annoys her. | want to be the one who takes

care of and cherishes her.

happiness she brings with her wherever she goes. She is a bundle of joy and | want her to be my bundle of joy.
