I HOPE YOU SEE THIS
I love you. I don’t even know you & I love you with all my heart. Or perhaps I do know you, my eyes just have yet to catch you in the right light.
I think about you often, and it usually brings me to tears,  as I lay here all alone wishing that you were here.
I hope you’re happy.
I hope your wait hasn’t been nearly as long as mine if so I promise I’ll make it up to you.
If you’re anything like me, which I believe you are, you’ve cried at times, longing for my presence but I pray that’s where it stopped.
I hope you’ve got your family at least.
I hope you know how beautiful you are, so when I tell you every day you’ll believe me.
I hope that no one is hurting you, including yourself.
I hope you find reasons to smile every day because I can’t wait to be the one who puts them there. I bet your smile lights up every room that you’re in and I look forward to that being the illumination of my life.
I bet you’re the one all your friends go to for advice. Not because you give the best advice but the realest.
I want to be ready for you and I feel like I’m close. But if you want to show up before then that’s fine too. Your spot is right here waiting. Whatever you want, everything you need, I will not rest until you have it.
Because I love you. I don’t even know you & I love you with all my heart. Or perhaps I do know you.
