You and I might just be the best thing
We have not begun this chapter in our lives, but I am curious to know how it begins. Perhaps I have passed by you once, a character that I have yet been introduced. Maybe you are someone I stumble upon, where we naturally fall into each other’s embrace. What ever the situation may be, it will be thrilling to see how the story unravels before our eyes. The start may go completely wrong, but some things have to go slow, taking it one step at a time. I am a hopeless romantic, I believe in love, and that everything happens when the time is right. Whether it be love at first sight (or the fifth), I’m certain that we will become something beyond the expected ideal partner we have imagined – you will be the one I get to call ‘mine,’ the one person I show my dedication.
Here are three qualities I hope to see within you: that you are passionate. Our interests may be different from each other, but long as you are motivated to pursue your interests, it shows that you are committed to give everything you’ve got. That quality shows me what makes you feel confident, and that you have something to share with me. I don’t need to participate in your passions, but I want to be supportive in what makes you feel alive. Be the artist who can freely express yourself, and let it be a way for you to handle yourself through tough times. That you are good to your family. Taking care of your loved ones is critical, and that extends to friends as well. These are the people who have raised you and helped you to become the person that you are, the person that I admire most. There will be times where it will be difficult between us, and I hope that you have a support system to rely on when we reach that point. Being good to the people you care about shows the potential that you can be good to me. That you love me just the way I am. I know there will be things that you will not like about me, and I’m sure I can say the same to you. But those things should not get in the way, those little things are what make me – they’re what make you. Looking pass our differences, there are two people, needing to be there for when it matters most. Life can be unpredictable, but long as I am with you, there is no need to wander, looking for someone else.
Over the years, I can imagine what happens next: love, marriage, a baby carriage… Maybe love needs to be simple as a children’s chant. I want to be able to share my thoughts with you, and say what’s on my mind (including the offensive thoughts). There are so many ideas that I want to tell you, and you might be afraid – but you will be able to handle it. I may rush into things, but I can’t help myself, I get enthusiastic when I get in such a state. On top of the dreams that we have for ourselves, I look forward to the dreams that we have together, for we will make them into a reality. Trends and fads may come and go, but what we have will never go out of style. A little too poetic, but that’s how I want to express myself when I’m around you…
My former loves, you have met – they’ve taught me what I want from a true love. From the pain I’ve experienced, to the time I’ve spent with each and every one of them, you have them to thank when we finally find each other. While I am not looking for someone like them, I’m sure that you will have traits that I enjoyed most; you will be my perfect. I’m looking for that ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t live without each other love (what can I say, I love my pop culture references). But there is no need to share much more, we will have until the end of time to get to know and grow with each other. To whomever you may be, let’s take an adventure down the life that we will create. Let me be the one to say it first to you: I love you.
Sincerely,
Sheldon
