dear future boyfriend (3)

I have already met you and we both know who you are. I love the way you hold me tight when I’m curled up against you late at night. I love the way you want to show me affection no matter how many of your friends are watching. I love the way you pick me up when I hug you. I love the way you call me “girl” - it’s all in the way you say it. And I love so many things about you that I can’t begin to list them here.

The other day we woke up bright and early and you kissed my cheek and said “Good morning, Mrs. Parker.” If you did that every morning…I would melt. Please always call me Mrs. Parker. 

And for when we do become official, because I have a strong feeling that we will, I can’t wait to do everything with you. I want to go with you when you go somewhere, and I want you to show me off, because I’m going to take you everywhere I go, and I am going to show you off to everyone, even my critical family (and I’m not going to care about what they say about our ethnic and age differences). And when we get out of that phase of being together all the time, when we get busier, I know we’ll still see each other every chance we get, and I wanna hold your hand when that’s the case, and when you ask me to follow you I want you to stop gesturing and start holding my hand, or telling me to close my eyes while you lead the way, even if it’s not a surprise. I want to spend more time at your house and when I do I promise I will start making you breakfast more often. 

I want to hear you freestyle. I want to see you dance. I always wanna see you happy and I never want to see you sad and if I ever see you mad again I don’t know what I’ll do. I can’t wait to meet your mother but please don’t introduce me to your dad or brother. I know me and your mom will get along so well.

I don’t know when you’ll be ready to call me your girlfriend, or if I’ll be ready at that time. I don’t know a lot of things about you, or about us. All I know is I want to learn everything there is to know about you, inside and out, and after we’ve been together for a while and after we get serious, I will want to marry you just like we always talk about. I’ll be more than excited and proud to write you a Dear Future Husband letter with that ring on my finger that will be engraved with the words “Good morning, Mrs. Parker.”
