a letter to my future husband

-07312-

Love,

          I’ve waited this long just to have you in my life for the rest of my days. You came too slow and let me wandered off our lane. But I guess it’s worth the wait.

          You of all people, have stumbled through my muddled course and led me to the perfect lane. I’m not as perfect as you see me, like a dismantled Chevy if I may say. But you, like a mechanic would, arduously resolved every bit of me. And honestly I can’t tell why you should. I’ve been through a lot lately and I know I’m flawed, which makes me the most unsightly girl in your milieu. But then again you inexorably made me feel like I’m a precious one.

          I may be sullen at times and you may see my chagrin, but trust me it was not because of you. No, how could you possibly be the reason for my melancholy when you are one of the reasons why I should smile, why I believed in romance. My indifference probably has bothered you, but you breached that invisible barrier between us.

          Your every effort of making me feel like I’m the most essential part of your being is the reason why I preserved myself, making every inch of me worth your expense. I know I’m not the most charming girl you have seen, but you act like one and it gives me the butterflies. There’s so much in you that puzzled me every single day, but you just let those four letter word erase all the doubts.

          Letting you in my world made me see how curtailed I am. That I can go as far as I wanted to be; with you vouching for me because you had trust like any other. And with these, I wanted to say thank you for everything you unknowingly did for my sake. It was unselfish of you to trust me with something you know I could easily break. But with your unrelenting trust, I know I can keep that side of the bargain.

          And from this moment on, I would not allow a second to pass by without you feeling and knowing how content I am, knowing that it’s you I would be spending the rest of my days. I can proudly say that somewhere in this austere world of ours, something has fallen perfectly in place. Like a puzzle solved.

Your wife...17
