The following is something that I look forward to experiencing with the person that I will spend the rest of my life with. We will go through everything—big and small—together. And we will appreciate all of those things, no matter how big or small, because we know what it means to be without each other, despite understanding that we will never face that uncertainty again.
You will have notes waiting for me. Inside awaits your thoughts that only I get to hear. Little surprises like that are totally you. You will grab my hand when we drive and immediately hold my heart with your touch. You will have entrusted me with the most precious of gifts—your own heart and I will promise to care for it, as you and I grow to become one.
You will know the ways to my heart because you are the only one who holds the key. I will always be your rock. You will have let me into your soul where no one else is allowed and I will be that support for you, even when you may not think you need it. But we will know everything about each other, from the deepest secrets to the most basic of information. You will even know that my favorite scrapbook line is Basic Grey.
The things we share will feel much bigger than they may seem. You will wake me up on a random morning before work and greet me with a kiss and a tray of French toast and an omelette. We will sit on the bed and enjoy it together. I will catch you making the bed and watch you from the doorway, the feeling of knowing that I get to spend the rest of my life with you almost bringing tears of joy to my face. We will sit at the kitchen counter and eat our dinner, while sharing what is on our minds.
There will be times when you will have to work and I will want your attention. Despite wanting to curl up with me, you will make sure that you take care of your responsibilities, all while keeping me in your mind. You will make me feel like I’m the most important thing in your life even when we aren’t together. Even when the time comes for you to go to work, you will surprise me by lighting candles and making me a bubble bath with my favorite sugar scrubs on the edge of the tub. At the end of a long day, you will reach for me, pulling me so close I can bury myself in your neck and you will whisper that you love me. I will gently kiss your cheek and tell you that I love you too.
The time will come when I get tears in my eyes at the thought of being away from you and you will hold me tight. If I get scared, you will hold me even tighter and tell me it’s going to be ok. You won’t be afraid of my tears but instead see another part of me that no one else knows about and we will find small victories in learning more about each other.
We will say everything to each other and words may not even be necessary because we will be on a path that leads to two souls growing into one heart. I will let you know that you are absolutely the man of my dreams and I will love you with all that is in me. When this day comes, know that I have been waiting for you and my most cherished treasures will be shared only with you.
