grabbed this from darna. it's hard not to get hooked.
dear you,
you will come into my life like chinese new year fireworks, or like waking up to a white christmas. you do not have a face yet, but at that exact moment, you and i will both know that the planets have aligned to bring us together. i have this strange feeling that somewhere in the past, i have passed you along corridors. our eyes may have locked for a few seconds, and nothing more. i may have sat in a nearby coffee booth across yours (of course you love coffee, too. i already have a seat reserved for you at my favorite coffee shop) one lazy afternoon while we guzzled cup after cup. i may have noticed the book you were reading intently---so intently that time and people passed by and you hardly noticed. i may have heard you laugh quietly at the funny parts and for a fleeting moment, i knew that that laugh will be a part of my life for a long time. we may have sat next to each other in a hushed theater or we may have been squished together in a crowded elevator. i already caught a whiff of your scent, and when the wind catches it again, i will know. i may have noticed you languidly walking in a mall somewhere without purpose, looking utterly bored. we may have bumped into each other at a bookstore aisle and reached for the same book. i may have liked your sheepish grin, or the way your hair formed tiny ringlets on your sweaty brow.
it was not time for us to meet yet, so we moved on with our respective lives. but one day, we will cross paths again and we will simultaneously lock in each other's field of vision. the world will stop in its tracks and i will know that it was you all along---God's gift, my kindred spirit, my soulmate, my alter ego.
i have furtive dreams of you and i sitting in a coffee shop together, quietly drinking in the gossamer afternoon. we would talk animatedly and endlessly between sips: of movies we loved, of books we've read and re-read, of beaches we have been to, and our dirty little idiosyncrasies. we would talk of everything mundane and profound, punctuated with inanities and profanities. there will be quiet and hysterical laughters, and dreams of a house by the beach. we will make lists of babies' names, dogs' names, and orphaned kittens' names. we will dream of a quaint garden with a huge tree for us and the kids to climb up on full moon nights. we would send each other quotes and scribbled poetry written on bus tickets and paper napkins, save coasters, movie stubs, and diner receipts for posterity. we will haunt booksales and record bars, and slow dance under the garish light of a lamp post without music on empty streets. we will kiss in the rain and hold hands all the time, and miss each other terribly on boys'/ girls' night outs.
we will have feisty spats and cold shoulder mornings, but we will kiss and make up before the sun comes down. there will always be room for forgiveness.
we will surprise each other with gifts---dandelions, sea glasses, cotton candy. we will blow bubbles in the bath tub, and fly make-shift kites on picnics. we will celebrate first kisses, first nights, and first dates because we like being corny.
we will plant gardens and paint murals, and take a hundred thousand photographs to keep in our scrapbooks and in our hearts.
we will scale mountains together and marvel at every sunset. we will visit orphanages, and spend a day with special children, save trees, and volunteer for charity work.
we will cry at movies and birthday cards, poignant tv ads, and after we make intense love. we will run through meadows and sprinklers, and jump into pools with our clothes on.
you will let me wear your pajama top and let me have the toasty side of the bed.
we will sing each other to sleep, or lie still in each others' arms listening to a thunder storm. we will pray for each other every chance we get.
i will know it's you---by the way your eyes light up at the sight of me, and by the way you say my name.
dear you...hurry home.
... i have already made a room for you in my heart.
i have already found you.
