1/5

Someone's letter to the man she will love someday.

Dear You,

I will admit that sometimes I really do wonder if you exist.

There is a part of every little girls heart that envisions her prince

charming. At age three, it is usually of a man who can save her from the

wrath of an evil stepmother, wake her from eternal slumer or give her

that true loves kiss.

In elementary school, he ecomes the oy with the least cooties, the one

whos willing to cross the playground to share his !reos even if it makes

him a target for the week of all the other oys.

"ome high school, its that oy you stand with at prom, who your father

stared down at the door, who provided you with an experience complete

with photos you will cringe at a decade later, a corsage that yellows in the

refrigerator, and a faded memory of a night that seemed almost too

magical to e real.

#ineteen years into this life, however, and still unwilling to give my heart

away, I am still that same little girl who hopes for her prince charming.

And although I wonder why it has taken you this long to sweep me o$ my

feet and whisk me o$ to your palace on horseack, I know that it is

proaly ecause meeting you will e etter than any fairytale I couldve

read as a kid.

A couple of heartreaks and a few years wiser though, I will admit that

there are times when I %uestion your existence. &ecause I have yet to

meet the guy who makes me hear songs like 'All (y )ife* or 'A +hole #ew

+orld* in my head when I see him does not mean I dont hope that itll

ever happen.

I may already know you or may still meet you somedaysomething I

leave completely up to -od ecause Im pretty sure our story will e epic.

owever, I cant promise you that Id make the worlds most perfect

princess. In fact Ill proaly keep you on your toes and amuse you with

my eccentricitiesthere are a lot of them. Ill proaly steal a unch of

your T/shirts and turn them into shirt dresses, or drive you slightly mad

with my osessive compulsivity and my need to 0x your collar constantly.


2/5

I can promise to e your est friend howeverthat person you can rant to

after a rough day, the hand you can hold when you get sad, or the person

you can text when situations get awkward.

Ill proaly mess up your hair sometimes and hug you for too long, utthatll only e ecause I asolutely adore you. Ill ury my head in your

shoulder during scary movies and make you feel like superman when you

kill those 1ying cockroaches that really shouldnt exist. Ill cook your

favorite food on your irthday and try my est to make friends with your

mom.

Ill respect your nights/out with the oys and make you seem like the

perfect guy to my arkada. Ill watch asketall or soccer games with you,

and not complain when you cheer too loudly at the T2 set.

Ill know the di$erence etween giving you space and eing constantly

there for youeven if it means sitting and playing video games with you

or taking hot chocolate runs when it rains.

Ill listen to your music and well go on epic adventures togetherseeing

the world, taking awesome pictures, eating awesome food, and never

running out of things to tell each other along the way.

I wont e waiting for you to sweep me o$ my feet and take me on a

magic carpet ride, ecause I know I wont need anything like that to fall for

youI will love you for you.

You will e that someone to make goofy faces with in pictures, to lace

0ngers with when Im lonely, and to take long walks under the stars with

on the each.

Youll e the guy who takes me the way I amand will laugh as I urst into

Disney song or pick out pink wallpaper.

Youll e that someone I envision a future withus 0lling out visa forms as

we travel the universe, picking out our 0rst dog together and arguing

aout what to name it, or eing snap/happy stage parents in our

preschoolers annual mini/plays. And I keep hoping that maye someday

when we 0nd each other, you will ecome that someone whose smile I

wake up to in the morning and the last one I speak to every night.

3o to the man I know does exist, and who will help me maye make senseof the world someday, this man I cant wait to love. 4lease know that I


3/5

cant wait to spend the rest of my life with you. &ut for now, I wait. 5ingers

crossed and palms held together, I hope that youre out there somewhere,

waiting for me, too.

+ith the hope I will e yours for always,

(e.

And now, a young man responds.

Dear You,

I will admit that it came as a surprise to me when you decided to write a

letter such as this. I always thought you were the type to keep things to

yourselfone of the many things that keep us apart until now.

There is a part of every oys heart that dreams of his princess. owever,

no matter what the age, this princess does not change.

#ineteen years into this life, and although your unwillingness to give your

heart away is what troules you, what troules me is how willing I am each

and every time to give my complete heart and yet there is no one to

receive anything of me.

Try as I might to give my heart to someone I had imagined was perfect,

and I end up putting the pieces ack together, mustering the courage to

make it seems like nothing is wrong and nothing has een lost, when in

fact, everything in my life at that point feels otherwise.

Although I have only known you for a few years, I am as con0dent as a

man in love can e, that you are the perfect girl I have een thinking of

ever since. #ineteen years into this life, and we are oth still apparently

waiting6 for someone to e swept o$ her feet, and for someone to sweepyou o$ yours. And yet, here we are closer to each other than you would

expect.

I am sorry I took this long. &ut, I hope you know, it has not een entirely

easy, trying to whisk you o$ to my palace on horseack. I am not alone in

this pursuit of your love and I have no palace to show you in comparison

to the many other men who will try to win your heart. You have not een

entirely cooperative as well, ut I do not lame you for this. In fact, its 7ust

one of the many %uirks that sets you apart from other girls out there.


4/5

You will e disappointed to know that it has not een such a fairytale /

meeting me, and for this I will e eternally sorry. I hope you know guys

spend more than enough time trying to come up with the perfect

introduction, what with sweaty palms and a shaky voice. As to the extreme

disappointment I may cause you, I also hope you know that you are still asperfect in my eyes as always. I may not have egun it as a fairytale for us,

ut I will go through leaps and ounds to make you feel like the princess

that you are.

Your eccentricities are what I love aout you. 8ven during your occasional

mood swings, it is the most endearing thing to see you shift gears.

Although I must admit, sometimes it can e %uite confusing9 keeping me

on my toes, it 7ust makes me want to e with you even more. I want to e

the man you stand eside at your est and your worstecause either

way, you are still too eautiful, and I would e nothing less than the

luckiest guy in town if you were 7ust as happy as I was, standing eside

you.

You are and will always e my est friend, even if one day I end up 0nding

no more shirts ecause you have orrowed them all. And when you return

them I end up not wearing them, still, ecause the scent is there to remind

me of you even when you are not around. You are my est friend ecause

you look out for me, after a stressful day, or after we lose a game of

asketall. 8ven during times when you refuse to speak to anyone, me

includedyou are still my est friend.

You will e the girl I try so hard to cook for, and despite my est e$orts I

know I will fail, ut I will love how you will try to taste my concoctions,

even when the taste might make you cringe. You will e the girl whose

mom I will try so hard to impress, and then you will 0x my collar in hopes

that I am ready to meet your parents. Adventure after adventure, you will

e the girl I will see the world with, complete with the local cuisine taste

and souvenir shots.

You are the girl I will smile to even in the worst of times. 8ven when the

day feels like s::t, I know that when I see you that my world cannot e so

ad if you are eside me. You are the girl whose smile I will wake up to,

even when some mornings might 0nd me with a slight case of morning

reath. I cannot wait to love you.

5ingers crossed and palms held together, I hope one day you will 0nd me

worthy of your heart. In the meantime, know that I am out heresomewhere, waiting for you, hoping that you will e mine.


5/5

)oving you forever and a day,
