It was an important day for me today, in fact, for the first time in forever, I would do a meet and greet for my fans. I never really enjoyed being too much at the centre of the attention, but in the last few years I haven’t done much for my fans and I’ve been trying to be better at it.

I asked my team to arrange this meet and greet to promote my newest album and they set everything up. I had to go to New York and I was pretty nervous about it since it was a long flight and I was scared to go alone, but thanks to you I didn’t have to do that.

You immediately agreed on going with me, not even thinking about that twice. You wanted to be there for me because you knew it was a big step for me and you told me you wanted to help me if I needed to.

I couldn’t ask for a better wife even if I wanted to. You couldn’t be more perfect than you already are.

I was adjusting the last things before the fans would arrive and in the meantime you were talking to me, trying to ease my nerves. I didn’t want to say it out loud, but I was really scared about this.

Thankfully, I’ve got you by my side and that reassured me a bit.

You were always my anchor since we were in One Direction. You were the only reason why I didn’t left the band after the first day, but in the end it wasn’t enough and I left anyway. Unfortunately, you couldn’t help me, even though you tried hard, because my problems were much bigger than you could handle and I didn’t want you to struggle with me too.

But even after I left the band, you never for a second left my side. We still stayed in contact before One Direction went on hiatus and around that period we got together as a couple. I never wished for anything more, so it made me truly happy.

Now, years later, we’re still together, happily married for almost two years and I feel very lucky that you always supported me throughout my whole career and life choices. Obviously I do the same thing for you and I’m so proud of you every day.

“Do you think fans will like this?” I ask you nervously. All of the sudden, I feel like a scared teenager again, the memories of the band surfacing a bit, but I know this is different and that I will be able to do this, if I only believe in myself a bit.
