Dear Future Husband


Dear Future Husband,

It might take a couple of years before we finally meet. My heart longs to see you, but I can wait for the time isn't right. I still do not know you. I don't know your name. I don't know if it starts with A, B C, or K just like mine. I do not yet know your whereabouts. You might be around somewhere, you might be near, you might be miles away.

I wonder if you have nice brown eyes, a sculptured face, white teeth, sharp nose and broad shoulders. I wonder if you're the rebellious type, the good guy, the childish or the smart guy. You're not here yet. Your identity is a whole package of mystery. Surprise me, Future Husband.

Whoever you are, I shall love you for all eternity, never breaking the vows we'll exchange on that flowery altar in front of my uncle priest, with all our teary eyed relatives on the pews. I will never betray you, for i will uphold the promise I made on that drizzly afternoon on the beach, to be the last person I will love on this planet.

I will be the best wife anyone can wish for but will never have except you. I will sleep on your shoulders cold nights, for on your side is the only warm place I could ever be. I will make your coffee every morning and prepare your breakfast because frying is the only thing I could do. I will kiss you good bye and bid you good luck as we separate for our respective jobs.

I will watch the news with you on early evenings on the living room. I will listen to your spiel about the recent current events and debate with you if I have to. I will buy pizza on Saturday nights and watch movies with our kids. Videos will also be taken when you happily play with our kids. I will capture those priceless and precious laughter, and place them on frames and photo albums and not on facebook.

I will always be your partner in every endeavor you yearn for. When you feel tired of life, remember I might be tired too, but emblazon this on your mind. "I will never grow tired of you." So let us enjoy life even for a bit, so that we can move on to a much serious path. I can drink with you bottoms up with a rum. But I will scold you, when you've had too much. I will be joining you when you still feel like playing computer games or online games. But I will definitely smack you when you trash talk, but only after I laugh. As you well know, I trash talk too.

You will have my respect as the head of the family. I will respect your decisions as regards the kids welfare, but speak up whenever I find something wrong or inappropriate. 

You can tell me everything when something came up at work. I will advise you and guide you through your decisions if you want me to, but not as far as interfering. I will be your best friend, and your comforter during the bad days. I will make you smile and offer you a hot beverage when you're feeling blue. Even when the whole world is against you, always remember that I will be the first to come to your rescue and be the last to leave you. 

When we grow old, I will let you read this and confirm if I have kept my words. Time flies. Today you may not be here, but who knows I will bump with you tomorrow.

Till we meet.

                                                                                                                  love and waiting,
                                                                                                                  Your Future Wife.
