Maybe when I am ready. Maybe when I finally accept myself completely and love myself unconditionally you will come sweeping me off my feet.
I’ll meet you in the most cliché way possible:
a. While I’m alone in a coffee shop, engross in a book;
b. I’ll bump into you while singing my heart out in a concert;
c. Or our common friend will introduce us to each other promising both of us that we’ll “hit it off”.
Whether it’s a, b, c, or somewhere along the alphabets, we’ll spark each other’s curiosity and will make the effort to get to know one another. I’ll learn about you, how you eat, what your favorite movies are, what genre of music you listen to, what instrument you play or wanted to play, who your celebrity crush is… We’ll unconsciously go deeper and you’ll tell me about your childhood, whether you hate your dad or you want to be like him, the girl who broke your heart and why you thought you’d never love again. You’ll learn about my love for pizza and delight with puppies and babies. I’ll tell you about the books I read and why they affect me deeply, I’ll tell you about the latest episode of Girls and why Lena Dunham is such an inspiration, I’ll tell you about my brother’s death. One of us will say I love you first and the other will reply with a smile, tight hug and say I love you back. We’ll confide in each other–we’ll become each other’s best friends. We’ll untangle each other’s insecurities and doubts. We’ll tell each other about our fears and our dreams. We’ll watch reruns of FRIENDS and How I Met Your Mother over pizza and beer; we’ll play cards and board games ‘til we get bored; we’ll hang out with friends without being that annoying lovers who can’t stay away from each other even for just a minute; we’ll bring each other in our respective family gatherings; you’ll be my plus one in every wedding, baptism, and debut; we’ll take walks and picnics at the park eating take out food and my sister’s freshly baked cookies; we’ll talk about God, the stars, Bermuda Triangle, and the aliens; you’ll watch rom-com and old movies with me and I’ll return the favor by watching action and horror movies with you; we’ll watch concerts and chill at music festivals; we’ll travel in and outside the country and discover more things about each other. You will be the person I will never get tired learning something new each day from. You will be the person I’ll be happy to do just about anything with. YOU WILL BE MY PERSON.
Right now I am learning to be free and continuously discovering the path I want to pursue. I am trying to be better so when I finally see you at that coffee shop, or that concert, or that friend decides to introduce us to each other, or in whatever way… I would be ready. I wouldn’t be running away because I would feel scared. I wouldn’t be running away because I don’t love myself enough to believe that I’m worthy of you. So while you’re doing the same thing and becoming the man you were born to be, I’ll be here, keeping you in mind and heart. Every prayer at night before I fall asleep, every visit at the Blessed Sacrament, every 11:11 wish, and every whisper to the wind, the moon, and the stars hoping it’ll reach you will lead me to you. I cannot wait to fall in love with you. Stay safe, my soon-to-be-love!
Yours,
Gly
