Dear future husband,
I was 18 when I wrote this,
And know that I started dreaming of you when I was six, back when my mother told me not to go beyond the blue lines in my paper when I'm writing my name.
Since then, since then I thought about yours too.
I was so young,
Yet i know i have to find you
Among the sand in the shore,
I have to find the right shell that would protect me from all the things life would throw.
But your woman right here was blindfolded,
I came across men and tell them they are you,
And believe them saying "yes, it is true".
It was a very wide shore,
I met plenty of them who told me that this is love,
And went away the morning after
I have been into loves that failed, people who are impatient, boastful, and those who kept on blaming me about how things went wrong.
I was cheated, lied to and was betrayed by those who told me you both are one.
I was and still naive,
Longing for your arms,
And still believing the wrong.
And I am sorry that I cannot protect myself from your clones,
I am sorry that I believe their tongues and their sugar coated metal words.
I am sorry for letting them break my heart this bad
And you have to pick up my pieces back, soon after you'd came.
Years have gone,
And to more years that would come
I will be waiting for you
Know that I love you already today,
And even before I knew love
Know that I wished for you in every star that falls, and on every penny I throw on wells, even on wishbones that my brother and I pulled
And I prayed for you too.
Everynight, every morning that I wake
I pray that you are good,
Happy, and that maybe I can meet you sooner.
I longed for you even before I met you,
And no nights have I not wonder the softness of lips, and the warmth of your flesh.
To love and be loved
My shell, that is why we're here
And I am here for you,
As you are here for me too
I am to fill your emptiness
And you to shield my weakness
I've been missing you quite a while now,
So hurry and come,
Together lets go home.
