XXIV

Dear future love,

I know you're out there, but are you what they promised me you'd be?

Will you search for me, even when I'm not looking for love?

Will you find me, even when I'm lost?

Will you fight for me, even when I can't fight for myself?

Will you stay by my side, even when I push you away?

Will you find beauty in me, even when I deny it and can't see it?

Will you love me, even when I can't love myself?

Will you tell me you love me, even when I'm not ready to say it back?

Will you still love me, even after I hurt you?

Will you trust me, even when I shut you out?

Will you still be there, even when I have to leave you for a while?

Or is this too much? Is loving me and all my flaws too hard?

I don't know if you'll be what they told be I'd deserve, but I promise you, give me time and I'll be the one they told you you'd deserve.

Yours faithfully
