Hello Mr

Hello Mr,

I haven't met you yet
But I'm looking forward to the day!
See although we haven't been formally introduced
You and I go waaay back...
Way back to when I was a child and my imagination roared wild.
Back then before the world had tarnished my innocence
And you and I were as real as can be
When I played with my dolls and did dress up with my friends
You were there too....my knight in shining armour.
You see you and I go waaay back
Although I haven't met you yet I'm looking forward to the day.

Hello Mr,

I haven't met you yet
But I'm looking forward to the day
See although we haven't been formally introduced
You and I go waaay back
Way back when I thought I'd found you
When I saw a glimmer of some of your qualities
When I dated other guys
Back then before the world had bitten into my faith
And you and I became a reality, an internal desire I searched for.
You were there too...
You see you and I go waaay back
Although I STILL haven't met you I'm looking forward to the day.

Hello Mr,

I haven't met you yet
But I'm looking forward to the day
See although we haven't been formally introduced
You and I go waay back
Way back when I started picking out colours
Purple or Pink?
When I looked intently at big dresses...White is definitely my colour!
When I listed to songs and pictured my dad..
Pictured my dad walking me down the aisle..To YOU!
You see you and I go way back
Although I haven't met you I'm looking forward to the day. 

Hello Mr

I haven't met you yet
But I'm looking forward to the day
See although we haven't been formally introduced
You and I go waay back
Way back when Adam said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh...”
When the two became one.
You see you've always been a part of me
My best friend, my anchor, my partner, my protector, my soul mate, my prince charming, my second half,
My husband...
You see you and I go way back
Although I haven't met you I'm looking forward to the day. 

Hello Mr

I haven't met you yet
But I'm looking forward to the day
See although we haven't been formally introduced
You and I go waay back
Way back when I purposed in my heart to be your good thing.
To:
Love you, serve you, hold you, grow you...
When I purposed in my heart to be worth more to you than rubies
To bring you good, not harm, all the days of my life.
You see you and I go way back
Although I haven't met you I'm looking forward to the day.

Sooo this post is assuming that I haven't met him yet. Hmmm.. This may or may not be true (and is actually kinda funny) but yeah the sentiments above are ones that make my heart skip a beat and smile from ear to ear whenever the thought comes to mind.

I still believe in love and deep down I am actually a hopeless romantic. I have been writing letters to my future husband for years and although I haven't met him I still believe. Although broken relationships have made me tougher when it comes to succumbing to butterflies, trusting and depending on someone else I still believe in my "happy ending" and that's what the post above is about.

Hope.

My mom and dad have been pivotal in displaying to me what marriage is all about; what having someone you can lean on and go through all of life's ups and downs with is all about. They have mirrored the love that comes with being committed to each other, the conflicts and the conflict resolution, what it is to really know someone...when they are happy, sad, dejected or excited. I've been so fortunate to grow up in a home where I can see it all for myself and if my marriage is anything like theirs I will truly be blessed. It's something worth holding onto and waiting for. It's something worth guarding jealously and well.... I'm looking forward to the day! 

Never let the dream die.

Keep believing :)
