Dear Love,


A lot of people has been hinting that I might see you soon. They said that losing my father means God will give me someone who will take his place to care for me and to love me. Though I want to meet you soon, I hate it that I have to lose someone important to gain something as precious. Why can't I have both? I know it's a selfish thought, but isn't it normal to wish for something like that?  

 

I don't want you to be a replacement. I want you to come to my life not because I am terribly lonely but because we are already prepared mentally and emotionally. I don't want you to find me when I am at my weakest state. I don't want you to fill the empty space in my heart because when we meet, I want my heart to be whole when I give it to you. It will be unfair if you have to fix something that I know I must do myself. 

 

But you know, often times, when I am alone, when that gnawing emptiness is eating me inside, I can't help but wish that you were here. Really, I wish you were here.


 From the woman who waits
