Dear Someone,

Dear Someone,

I know you’re out there. I know that life is taking its time bringing us together, but in the meantime, I wanted to share a few things with you.

I wanted to tell you that once we finally meet, we may not really know that this is it — at least not right away. It will probably become apparent sooner rather than later and it will be easy.

It will all be easy. The timing will be right. The universe will be momentarily aligned. We will easily connect on a deeper intellectual level and fully understand the innermost workings of our crazy minds.

We will have faith in beginning to let down our walls to allow each other inside. But not too quickly because we will want to cherish those tiny steps along the way.

Our scars will be revealed but judgement will play no role. Our hearts will begin to open (again) after remaining closed off for so long. It will appear almost effortless.

I wonder where you’re living. I wonder what you’re going through right now. I wonder if you’re hurting or if you’re discovering your own peace. I wonder what you look like, what you’re laugh sounds like and I wonder if you ever think about me.

I want you to know that I will love every part of you with all that I am. I want you to know that I want to grow into myself with you. I want to see the world with you. I want to experience love with you.

I am not going to be good at love at the beginning but I will be learning through you. Through us. I will learn to be more than just me. I’ve been just me for so long that you will need to have (a lot of) patience.

I want you to know that we may not always get it right the first time but we will make a good team and figure out solutions together. I will never go to sleep angry with you because we will express our concerns when something “feels off” to get to the bottom of the issue as soon as possible. Oh, and I will always kiss you goodnight.

You will be my best friend; someone that I can confide in. Someone I can share my biggest fears, dreams, and insecurities with. I will listen to you and actually hear what you are saying. I will open my mind to your dreams and help to achieve them with you.

I want you to know that I am waiting for you. I am waiting for you because I know that you need me just as much as I need you. I am waiting for you because I know that you exist. I am waiting for you because our paths are bound to cross at some point— and I’ll be there, waiting.

I want to tell you how excited I am to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to tell you that everything you may be going through in this moment, is somehow leading you closer to me. Closer to us. I want to tell you that the best is yet to come. So please, don’t give up on me. I'm out here, too.
