Be My Future Wife
To the woman I’m not ready for
I want you.
I need you.
Need may seem like a strong word but, I do need you.
But not yet.
Not at this time.
What am I waiting for?
I’m waiting for myself.
I’m waiting for me to be ready…
To be sure…
To be able to commit.
You’re a pretty woman, but not beautiful.
You are an attractive woman, but not hot.
You are a caring, compassionate soul.
But you don’t seem all that fun…
All that exciting…
All that adventurous.
I know you are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.
I know you are the one who I will bring home to my parents.
I know you are the one I want to start a family with…
To build a home with…
To die with.
But there’s something in me that I must get rid of.
I could try to bring you along.
To bring out your fun side.
But I don’t want to change you.
I love you just the way you are.
Please wait for me.
I know you have plenty of suitors who you turn down daily.
I want you to keep doing that.
Keep turning them away.
Keep saving yourself for me.
It will be worth it. I promise.
Because after all,
You are,
My future wife.
