SERENDIPITY

To my future love, I hope you’re not waiting for me to complete you. I hope you go to the movies with yourself, cook yourself dinner, and buy yourself flowers. I hope you don’t get lonely at night when the bed feels far too big and the pillow next to you is empty. I hope you make silly faces at children and smile at strangers instead of looking at the ground. I hope you show yourself patience and affection instead of seeking those things from others. I hope you dance around your kitchen and get so lost in your joy that you burn the food. I hope you learn to forgive yourself for your flaws and past mistakes. I hope you love yourself, darling. And I hope you know I can’t wait to love you ten times more than you possibly could.
