Dear Future Love

I'm not surprised, not everything lasts. I've broken my heart so many times I've stopped keeping track. I've tried so very hard not to lose it. I thought I had thought of every possibility. I know someday it will all work out. I know your text won't make me want to scream and shout but jump up and down. I know your smile will make me want to smile, even though it kind of cramps my style. I promise you that I'll give so much more than I get. Your hair will smell like daisies. Your heart will be patient. Your words will be kind. Your thoughts will be thoughtful. You will have explainable love for me, even though right now I just can't see, Dear Future Love, you're standing there waiting for me.

I know I will find you one day. I know you will speak life over me and not death. I know you will pray for me on days I can barely get out of bed. I know you will kiss my sweaty head.

I know you will lay rose petals over the dead. I know we will hold each other in bed when were sad and upset. I know we will talk with each other and communicate. I will tell you how beautiful you are on a daily basis.

And on days I forget why I'm here and what I have to offer. I know you will be waiting there for me. I know on  days when you come home from work in tears from a bad day, we will eat a whole pint of ice cream together and watch The Bachelor. I know we are going to have arguments. I know we are going to have fights. I know I'm going to have to fight to keep you, but it will be all worth it because you will be my baby.

Dear Future Love,

Your future one
