Dear Future Partner

Dear future partner, please don't show up yet.

I know I said I dream of wearing white again

To shiver with anticipation beneath your loving gaze

Spending nights in your warm embrace

Completing my life with your passionate love

But no, don't come just yet

The night of my life has just begun

And the clock won't strike 12 anytime soon

My glass slippers still going on strong

And who needs pumpkin carriage when you got Uber

So please, wait patiently

I promise you a lifetime of kisses and hugs

Innumerable 'I love you', both said and unsaid

I will make you a king and lift you high

And I will be yours, forever more

I want you, but just not now

Let me flutter among theaters and concerts

Let me dance in the ballroom and out on the streets

Let me laugh and flirt in opera houses and game houses

Let me roam the city, wild and free

It'll be fun to do it together, but not now

We shall have the fun together, I promise you

High and above looking classy and fancy

Low and beyond doing things we secretly like

Whatever we do, I promise you fun and companionship

Understand this, and let me be me for now

The night called me, full with promises of gaiety

The day beckoned me, each is an adventure

My tired shoes are worn from walking

But oh how fun life could be!

I want you, dear lover, so please be patient

I will hold your hands soon, and kiss you gently

You will be safe in my arms, fully loved

My life will be complete, and so will yours

Because I love like nobody else can love :)

And yes, I'm worth the wait.
