"Hello Darling,
Goodness, it's been a while since we've talked. A while since I've set eyes on you. Since I've felt your hand in mine and we were just allowed to be. So long, it feels like a lifetime. Like we haven't even met.
Do you think of me often? And when you do, do you wonder what I'm doing? What is bothering me at a particular moment, if I let my mind wander possibly more than I should. Do you try to imagine my smile, how my laugh sounds, what makes me really excited. Just the little things that make me, me. Because I think about those things with you all the time. Simple things, little details that are lost in every day life. But are cherished when really thought about. Oh dear, how I miss you. Even if there's not quite a reason to. Not yet.
Do you stop to wonder if we pass each other every day? Like ships in the night, we offer each other little smiles and continue on our ways. Polite, and cordial, and perhaps we are even friends. After all, the world is full of so many people, and we have met so many already. Are you among the sea of faces that have already crossed by my eyes? And when will you become more than a flash? When will that magic moment be, when our eyes meet and everything else-- as they say, is history.
I don't wonder that so much. Although I miss you, and even though I want to know your name so I can say it over and over, that magic moment can take its time. Because you see, lovely, there are two people somewhere in the course of time. They're just meeting, laughing, talking. Being friends, perhaps. In the past or the future, we are there already. And there are two more people who are preparing for an evening, in fact many of them. Different, special, each one of them. Getting to know each other and laughing and holding hands. We're already there. And a ring, and a wedding, and a happy life full of love and all things hard and challenging but oh-so-worth it. Darling, you and me, we're already there. And there we are, laughing, talking, loving, living.
The future. It holds so much. Dreams, hopes, careers, goals, chances, little details that build into this beautiful picture. And we're both living it at this very moment. Together, but separate. We're already there. So here's to you, the future holder of my heart. I'll catch you on the other side, love. Until then, we'll always have those moments when we happen to think of each other at exactly the same time. And in that case, darling, we're already there.
Sincerely with love,
Your Future Someone."
