To my future person,

I want to thank you in advance. I have not exactly had the best track history when it has come to relationships and choosing the right kind of men I should allow receiving my attention. So, thank you for being worthy, and recognizing that I am worthy of you.

I am nowhere near perfect, but I take comfort in knowing you are out there to learn to love all of my little quirks and stand by me through my mistakes to help me grow.

I want to apologize for my hesitance in trusting you. I have not had the best experiences with relationships, and have been extremely hurt by men who I cared for fervently. I know you will be patient and understanding with all of my insecurities, and I am grateful for your help in my personal growth and allowing me to trust and love again. I am eager to know you, to know the person who helps balance me: the person that encourages me to become the best woman I can be in this life. And I can only hope I will be able to do the same for you.

I hope you remind me of my grandfather. He wasn't the most sentimental man with writing love letters, but he was intentional with showing his love for my grandmother through his actions each and every day. He helped my grandmother navigate through situations with such love and grace by being the first person she would consult and seek council with. He was a patient, respectful, wise, selfless, humble man. He promised to love her every day of his life and make her the happiest woman if she chose him, and by God, he kept his promise. I miss him every day, and I know he would have been proud that I found you.

I look forward to our future together, and all of the things we will teach one another and learn together in life. I look forward to all of the adventures we take on, big or small. I look forward to all of the memories we create and the inside jokes that come about from them. I look forward to the fear we will face meeting one another's families, which will dissipate when they realize they love each of us and our relationship. I look forward to growing in friendship and in love with you. I know you're out there, and I hope that we recognize each other and our compatibility at the right time.

Yours truly,

The Girl Eager to Meet You
