Open Letter for My Future Husband
It’s funny how I’m smiling right now just thinking about the idea of you, while I don’t even know if you exist. But if you do, just hold on.
Right now, I don’t know you yet. I don’t know where you live, your ethnicity, your job, your age, or even your favorite color. I don’t know if you’re in a relationship with someone else right now or if you’re single just like me. I don’t know your preferences or your style as a woman. But I hope you are also patiently waiting for our timing, whether it takes years or another lifetime. I hope you also believe in destiny.
While I’m busy building my career for my own future, I hope you’re doing what you love, too. I hope you’re engaging in activities that bring you happiness. In that way, we can share our experiences and grow as individuals. While I’m still trying to figure out my life, I hope you’re getting to know yourself better now. If not, that’s perfectly fine. We’re all still learning about life. I hope that when we meet, I’ll know myself a little more and be ready to give my whole heart.
Neither of us knows when or where we’ll first meet, but I’m eagerly looking forward to that moment. I have this vision that we’ll meet unexpectedly on a bustling street while you’re enjoying time with friends or perhaps while you’re savoring your favorite ice cream on a breezy day. I have a feeling I’ll be captivated by your smile. You probably won’t notice, as I’ll do my best not to show it.
If one day we finally cross paths, I hope our first glance will convey that we’re meant for each other. I hope you’ll ask my name with a smile on your face. Then, I’ll give you my warmest smile, one that brings you comfort and peace. I hope I’ll feel my heart’s rhythm affirming that it’s you — my other half, the person I’ll spend the rest of my life with. My hands are always cold, so I pray yours will always be warm. I want to remember our first kiss as if it were my first taste of the sweetness of your soul. I promise to make sure you have breakfast before work. I’ll practice tying a necktie, just in case you like wearing one. I want to remember every little detail about you, like how you take your coffee or tie your shoelaces. If possible, I’d love to experience my first white Christmas with you and simply embrace you in the middle of a snowy street.
To my future husband, I hope you’ll always be by my side when things get tough, even when we’re unsure how to navigate the chaos. I hope you’ll hold my hand and reassure me that everything will be okay as long as we face it together. I hope you’ll continue to look into my eyes, just as you did on the first day we met.
