Letter to Unknown, Maybe My Future Partner

I crave the most innocent parts of a relationship. Like holding hands, forehead kisses and being able to tell someone how much I adore them.

It sounds crazy given I may not have met you yet, but I know you. My soul is so comfortable with your spirit that your absence has created a longing, which is painful at times. How I enjoy the manner in which we will disagree; accepting each other’s mistakes, flaws and decisions without blame, malice or judgment. You set my soul free. You make me want to always be the best me for the best you. You look into me when our eyes connect.

I have yet to know who you are or what songs you listen to. Someday I will see you when you will be here sitting right next to me. I will tell you how my day was, how it made me feel lonely, and how strongly I acted. I will tell you, how one day, I fought with myself just to trail along the world. Accept the bitter reality of people around me. Yet loving them compassionately, I learned how life can be.

It’s completely natural and human to want affection, interactions with others, attention, and love. You shouldn’t feel like you’re ”asking for too much” or being ”overly emotional” just because you seek to have your emotional and social desires fulfilled properly. Everyone has these needs, and it’s okay to want them met.
