To you who are bound to come,
You are a catch. I just need to assure you because I'm positive that if you are here, you'll look into my eyes and say the exact same thing. Tomorrow's Valentine's Day and I will still go out and celebrate the love that is YET to connect us. I'm guessing you have plans too, with or without a woman, I imagine you to be someone who refuses to let Valentine's depress you. Unlike me. Sometimes, I find myself staring blankly at whatever's in front of me, imagining the feeling of how heavenly it will be to have you beside me. Sometimes, I imagine you emerging from my hazy view of a crowd, smiling at me and staring back. You maybe tall or short, attention-grabbing or not, but I have no doubt that I will recognize you. It will be as if we've known each other for a long time. It will not be love at first sight but more of an "I want to get to know you more" at first sight moment. We may become close friends, coffee buddies perhaps, talking for what will seem like a short time to us when in fact it has been hours. You'll let me into your life and I will let you into my own gloomy world.
I know you have your imperfections, but I will accept them almost automatically...I will fall in love with the imperfect you. Perhaps you'll love me for my smile, fall for my humor or my habit of letting my brows meet as if I'm in deep thinking when in reality, my mind is blank. Maybe you'll like the unrefined me, the perky me or the drama queen in me.
Tomorrow's Valentine's day, though we are not celebrating together, in my heart I feel that we indeed are celebrating. I can't wait to spend my first Valentine's with you. I can't wait for the time when I'm not looking forward to sleeping anymore because I refuse to miss the thought and reality that I HAVE YOU every second that I am awake. Maybe I'll even wish to dream of you and build a world of fantasy where we will never part.
I will love you, not unconditionally but imperfectly. We'll create a customized love that fits our already rigged, jagged and beaten hearts.
Happy Valentine's Day in advance. I am smiling knowing that someday I'll give these letters to you.
