Some of you may remember my older blog where I discussed writing letters to my future boyfriend (or husband). A few of you inquired to me just what these letters might look like. Now, at the advent of my college graduation (which is happening on Saturday) I seem to find myself consumed with tying up all the loose ends of my life and heading out to a new place (taking you all with me, of course). This doesn’t lend much time to writing, so I decided that this week, as a treat (hopefully) I’d feature one of the letters I wrote to my future husband.

This was not written for the intents of the Choice Effect more as it is an old letter I’m typing up for you all to read and enjoy!

Here goes:

To Whom it May Concern (my future husband?),

Ever since I learned about what love is, I’ve been waiting for you. Like some sort of sailor’s wife on the dock I watch the horizons in the hopes of finally seeing you appear. I’ve been increasingly patient, and I will be incredibly devoted to you, but you will know this, when we meet. At least I hope you will. I’m not asking for love at first sight, I’m asking for interest. I’m looking for a lasting devotion born out of a mutual respect and friendship. I hope that you feel the same way.

I’ve always been remarkably idealistic, in a world where few people truly believe in this whole “love” thing, I stand strong. I believe that love is finding a person whose flaws are like a bunch of holes, that the other person can fill in with their strengths, and vice versa. I hope that you think that I’m wonderful, because I’ll probably think that you are wonderful too.  I want you to be a great friend, someone I can tell everything to. I hope that you like that silly fancy flavored non-dairy creamer that I like in my coffee, I hope we can share it. I hope we’ll be able to share so much.

I know that I’m pretty young to be looking for you, but I want plenty of time to fall in love with you. I think that I would enjoy falling in love with you, and I hope that you are out there somewhere hoping that you’ll fall in love with me too.

I hope that our futures spread out on this wonderful horizon, only to have it seem even that more wonderful, because it’s with each other.

Anyway, hurry soon? We have an entire life to start together!

Love always,

Cat

Idealistic thought it is, I do believe in every word I’ve written. So how bout it, dreamers? What’s your ideal love?
