Letter For My Future Husband
(September 22, 2011)
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
1 Corinthians 13:4
Dear. My God’s Gift,
I know it’s kinda weird to write a letter for you in spite of I haven’t met you yet and vice versa or we have met already but as acquaintances or as friends. I’m only 22 years old while writing this love letter on September 22, 2011, at 6:40pm, under the dim light in the living room.
Right now, I don’t have a man in my life. I’ve been hurt so many times and I couldn't quantify how much tears I cried. But I never failed to save something for myself. I’ve met a lot of lads, some were nice, others were immature and most were just wanted to have fun. I know that every heart ache I had, serves as a lesson to be learned and every man who broke my heart leads my way to you. I wonder if what kind of life you are living now, if what is the colour of your eyes, the colour of your skin, your height, your attitude, if you also love Jesus Christ and accepted Him as your saviour, if where are you located at the moment and whatever I think of.
At this age, my parents are asking me to get married, they want to see me with my very own family, and they want to meet the man who would take care of me. And also, they are having this IWG Syndrome (I Want Grandchildren Syndrome). I’m an only child and they are pretty old that’s why they are being excited. Sometimes I’m thinking, maybe I’m not attractive or I don’t deserve to be loved by a man. There were times that I was even acting desperately, but I realized that I was wrong, it was really wrong.
I should wait for the time you come to claim my heart. I can’t wait to share my moments and thoughts with you, songs that I want to dedicate to you, my voice to sing with you, punch lines to make you laugh, I will share everything and give joy in your heart. I need to be prepared for it, to learn how to be a responsible spouse to you and a good mother to our future kids. I let God to take over of my life and it feels great because He will serve as the foundation of our love to each other. All I ask from you my darling, is to love God wholeheartedly, to love the people around us, and to love me truly.
I am saving myself and love for you and only you, my best friend, my lover, my husband. I want you to know how much I love you and I miss you for being apart from me. I’m just here waiting and praying for you to come my way. So until then my sweetheart, I will be enchanted to meet you.
Love and Kisses,
Your Future Wife
