Dear You,
I donāt know your name. I donāt know who you are or where you are or when we will ever meet. I donāt know whether or not you are already in my life somewhere. I donāt even know if you exist in this lifetime. Iād like to believe youāre walking this earth someplace, but sometimes Iām not sure if I even believe in the idea of fate and romance anymore. Maybe you can save me from myself.
If you are in this lifetime and on this planet though, I hope I donāt meet you anytime soon. I have a lot to learn and I will probably hurt you, because I donāt know yet that you are the one who will make me happy.
Iāve been through a lot. But while I wish you could have been there with me, I know you will be proud of me because of how strong I turned out to be and all the things I made it through without you. See, I had to be alone for a while so Iād know what Iām capable of. And so Iād appreciate having someone like you more.
I like being single right now because all my time is mine. I need to be single for a while so I will not regret not having this kind of freedom in the future. When Iām yours, Iāll be completely yours because I had this time to be mine.
But sometimes I miss being in love. There are days when I wish you can get here faster just so I can have the kind of love that Iāve been waiting for since what feels like forever. But I guess itās better that youāre not here yet because I donāt know how to be with you right now. Iāll probably say a lot of really stupid things and scare you away.
You wonāt just the love of my life, you will also be my best friend in the world. Iād always thought of all my old loves as best friends at the time, but I donāt think I ever really knew what that meant. I love that I will be able to tell you anything and everything and know that you will be the one person in the world who understands.
We wonāt always get along and we will more-than-possibly get into some really ugly fights, but I know that in the end, we can make it through because nothing is more important than learning and growing together.
We are probably different people with diverse interests, and thatās a good thing. We will make time for what is important to the other because we like making each other happy. Of course, there will be things that we enjoy doing together. We will spend some days curled up with a blanket and books or popcorn and a good movie. Braveheart will always be a favorite between us, and reruns of FRIENDS will take up some of our lazy Sundays. But we will spend most of our time going around the world together, seeing places weāve only once dreamed of traveling to.
We both love to talk and laugh, and we will spend a lot of our time getting to know each other. Even when weāve been together 20 years, we will always find something new about the other or reminisce about the people we once had to be to get there. And while I will probably roll my eyes at your jokes, I will also smile just because itās so cute how you tried to tell the punch line.
Youāve probably loved a girl (or more) before me, and thatās okay. Iām sorry though if youāve gotten hurt and I wasnāt there to make you feel better. Iāve been in love before you, too, and Iāve also gotten my heart broken and feel like nobody could really understand. It will take a long time before I can let anyone else in again, and maybe you feel the same way. It will be better to find each other after going through all that, just so we will both know how to not take being in love for granted.
Weāve both become better people separately, something I will always be thankful for. And because of all the pain we have to go through before we meet, we will both realize then that we deserve that happiness and we deserve each other.
I donāt know what you look like but I know you have kind eyes and a genuine smile. I donāt know what you do for a living but I know that you will have time for me. I donāt know you, but I know that you can give me hug when Iām down, hold my hand for no reason and kiss me just because you love me.
Thereās a possibility though, that you donāt exist, and Iām writing this letter for no one. But in spite of all the cynicism Iām entitled to, I have to believe that youāre out there somewhere. I have to believe that all the heartache Iād ever had to endure will someday lead me to you. I have to believe that God created you because He knew I would need you. And while I know Iām a complete person on my own, I have to believe that someone like you exists, someone who might not complete me, but can make life better. More beautiful. More colorful. A man who can make me believe in love again.
I donāt know who you are or if Iāll ever find you, but I wish with all my heart that youāre out there, waiting, just like I am.
I know that someday I will find you. In this lifetime, or the next, I will find you.
Yours (someday), MeĀ

To the guy who broke my heart...
Hey,
I know itās been a while since weāve talked. I just wanted to send a little note your way. No, Iām not writing this to complain about how you ruined my life or shattered all of my dreams. I once thought you did those things, but looking back now, I realize the exact opposite is true. Thatās why Iām here to say thank you.
Let me start by thanking you for treating me poorly. Although I know I didnāt deserve that kind of treatment, it taught me to respect myself and hold higher standards when it came to choosing a companion. You showed me the importance of looking for someone who cared for me enough to work hard, lend a helping hand to those in need, speak with kindness and even do those things you considered āoutdatedā and āuncoolā ā like asking my dadās permission to date me, opening the car door and respecting my body and purity.
I canāt help but think back to all of those times you bailed on me after we had already made plans for a date night. Often it was just an hour or two before we were supposed to go out. I know, I know, the guys invited you to hang last minute and you just couldnāt say no, right? I remember the sting of not being a priority in your life. I remember holding back the tears when you called to back out, and I certainly remember letting them flow as I read yet another text filled with excuses and broken promises. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank-you for those times, too.
You may be wondering how I can truly be grateful these things, as rotten as they were. I mostly appreciate them for reminding me of how blessed I am to have a loveone who loves me completely and fully as a man should love a woman. He works hard in our relationship,Ā isn'tĀ ātoo coolā toĀ pray with/for me, speaks with grace and treats me like a lady ā not a piece of meat or a trophy to show off to his friends.
I donāt know where you are today or what your life may look like, but I hope these past experiences have taught you a thing or two as well. My prayer and greatest hope for you is that youāve learned the importance and value of being a gentleman, living a life rooted in kindness and considering others as a priority above yourself. I donāt hate you, and although I certainly canāt say I miss you, I just had to set free the pain I allowed you to build in my heart so very long ago.
Sincerely,Ā
me

Something,Someone
All we want is something to take away the pain, something to make things better. Something to make us smile. We want someone to love, someone who will be there, and we want a hand to hold. Not only is that what we want, it's what we need. After a while, you get sick of being alone, and you get sick of the pain. That's when we need someone to love. WE need someone to walk into our life, and we need them to be there for us. They have to be there, and they have to give us good times, and make us smile. They might make us sad once in a while, but as long as they usually take the pain away, that's what matters.
