Dear Future Lover, This Is What I Want You To Know

"I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands. To speak when words are need and to share in silence when they are not. To live with in the warmth of your heart and always call it home." - Nicholas Sparks, <i>The Vow</i>

“I hope that we can fill up the space in each other’s lives in a way we have never known before; that all the brokenness in me has just been waiting for you to fill me up. I would have never known it possible to feel that whole. And when my fingers fit snugly in yours, or my head rests perfectly on your shoulder, I hope you’ll never know such a fullness.”

“I’m going to try not to make too many promises. But the one thing I can promise is that if you can be patient with me, you’ll never know a love like mine. I have so much to give to you.”

“I promise I’ll show you my past and my scars. I promise I’ll show you where I’m hurting and where I’ve healed. I promise I’ll tell you stories, tell you what I’m thinking, share the inner-workings of my mind, as we watch the sun dance across the sky.

I promise that one day I won’t be guarded.”

“I want to fall head over heels, fall so passionately and deeply in love that I don’t know what’s happening. I want to be smitten in love, to feel that a train hit me, and for better or worse, I am in for the ride. The exhilaration of the ride, the excitement, the passion. I want all of that, but not just the love and passion. I want to feel; I want the waves of emotion to flow through me, from the soft lapping of waves to the beasts of tides rising high above the horizon.”

“I want to be in love. I want to feel my heart beat rising as you step in and hold me close. I want to sit and stare into your eyes, your eyes telling me everything I need to know. I want to watch the stars while you hold my hand, making up stupid stories about the stars and constellations. I want to listen to you tell me that you love me.”

“I want you to know that my heart is yours to take if yours can’t work as hard anymore. And I want you to know, that I will do everything in my power to hold your heart in the light when you can’t find your flashlight in the dark. And I will kiss your heart over and over so you can feel my love being washed all over you.”

“I promise to make your heart beat faster and to fill your stomach with butterflies even after thirty years of being together.
I promise to clean up all the scars and cuts that other women have put on it. I will bandage up the memories from broken promises and wasted tears. I won’t let the broken past that you rarely talk about weigh you down anymore. I will lift all of that weight off of you, so you don’t have to be haunted anymore. And I promise to love your new heart just as much as the one that was full of ghosts.”

“I promise to dance with you in our living room, chest to chest, and kiss you softly. And then I will feel your heart race when I chase you to the bedroom and hear it beat boldly. I will make sure to make your heart race with anticipation, lust and love for all the years of you and me. I promise to keep your heart safe in my arms.”

“I promise to be gentle with your heart. Your past left you sensitive and your lungs, weakened by people who ran over your every word. So, I promise to listen to you when you are angry. I promise to shower you with kind words, and never make you wish you never had met me.

I will lift you up, and hold your hand when you are reaching for nothing but air.”

“Maybe our goals will shift. Maybe our world views will expand. I never want you to feel stifled. I never want you to think I expect you to remain exactly the man I fell in love with. I want to grow with you. I want to fall in love with you again and again, including all the new parts of you.”

“You have loved before. There have been important people who carved initials into your heart. You have memories that I don’t expect to erase. I have them too. They were all valid. They all served a purpose. We don’t have to pretend we are each other’s firsts. We are each other’s now. To me, that’s so much more important.”

“I don’t want to give up on us. Even when it gets tough. Even when we’re fighting and we’re both too stubborn to admit we were wrong. I want to always work it out. I never want to fall asleep mad. Life is so short and unpredictable. I know we’ll argue. That’s how it works. But I don’t want to let it get the best of us.”

“I’ll love you with all my heart and make sure you know you’re the only one I care about. I’ll make you feel safe and secure around me, like when we’re together the world can’t touch us. I’ll always keep your promises and won’t wager your trust. I want you to know you can always count on me to be there. I can always promise I’ll be the last person you see at night and the first person you see again in the morning, as long as that’s what you want.”

“I won’t expect you to be perfect because I know you’re not. I know you’ll screw up, I know you’ll do things that make me want to rip my hair out and I’m positive I’ll do those things to you, too. I know we will fight and struggle through hard times because that’s life. But on top of all the struggles we face I promise I will always face them with you. I promise that I won’t quit on you when things get hard. I promise I’ll still work through things with you and won’t run away from our problems. I’ll face them head on with you by my side because that’s the only way things will get better.”

“The girl before me made you think that you weren’t special. That you were like every other guy. That you were easily replaceable. But you’re not. You are one of a kind. You are the puzzle piece that fits with me. And I’m so happy with you.

So that was her but this is me. I am going to be there in those dark hours when you just want to throw in the towel. I’m going to be the strength to get you back to you. I’m not going to quit on you or find someone better. Because you are the best for me. That was then but this is now. And now is so much better than then.”

“I’m never going to let you down. I’m not going to feel like I’m ever missing out on someone else. I’m not going to turn my back on you and tell you to kick rocks. I’m going to love everything about you that she made you feel like was unlovable.

Because she is definitely her but I am me.
And I’m going to love the f*ck out of you.”

“My independence is more than just a character trait; it’s a way of life. I am guarded and there are certain details about my life that I don’t want to share with you at the drop of a hat. This will most likely annoy you and make you feel like I don’t want to share my life with you. Please be patient. Eventually I’ll let those walls crumble down around me and I’ll let you pick up the pieces.”

“At the end of the day, I want you to know that I love you. I can’t wait to figure out all of the things that make you happy and all of your quirks and habits. I can’t wait to be there by your side during the moments of your proudest achievements. I can’t wait to be the person who you call in the middle of the night when you can’t sleep or when you are stressed about work or family. I can’t wait to be the person who you call your confidante and your better half. The moments that lie before us are just beginning.

I can’t wait to spend this part of my life with you.”
