Week 2 – Thankful Tuesdays
Dear Yet-to-be-Found Girl, (who’ll steal my heart),
Everyone around me seems to have an idea of who you are. My grandmother’s sister says you’ll be a pretty Nair girl, very difficult to find because I’m tall. She’s dead set against you being anyone else. My sister teases me that you’ll be one who had a crush on me in school; though introvert that I was then, the girls who fall in that category are very few, and I don’t think my sister is right. My friends are now beginning to ask if I’ve started looking for you. I thought it would be just my family who’d ask that, but no, friends are in on it too.
I’m thankful that you bring to my life, a sense of wonder that otherwise doesn’t seem to be there, and I’m thankful for that wonder too. I wonder what your name will be; what you are doing, what do you love to do? I wonder what color your eyes are, how you love to wear your hair, if your voice is soft. I wonder if you’re kind hearted or brash, pessimistic or optimistic. I wonder what music you love, and if you’d like the same books as me. I’m thankful that you still remain a mystery, and that I can imagine you to be whoever I want to be.
And I’m sure, that when you are found, I’ll be thankful that you were, and that you and I were meant to be. For I believe life is sometimes like a fairy tale, and you’ll be my happily ever after.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
All the best and I am sure someone somewhere is waiting toooooooooo….

I am sure the mystery would soon be revealed. A long wait in suspense and wonder will come to a sweet end. Waise even I wonder who she will be?

This is adorable! 🙂 If your mystery girl appreciates the magic of words, she’d be the luckiest person alive to have you around, day in and day out 🙂
Whether she does or doesn’t is a mystery right now too, Cookie Crumb 🙂 I hope she does. Glad you found it adorable 😀

😀 A beauty of a post!
I’m sure whoever she is, she’ll fall flat on her face in love with you when she reads this post someday! 😉
I know exactly how you feel!
I’m so so so in love with my Mr. Right already though I don’t even know who he is 😛
I love this suspense and thrill of not knowing him or what he will be like or the sound of his voice or the feel of his hand in mine yet….. 🙂 🙂
Will keep a pillow handy when she reads this, Ili. 😉 That way she can fall safely 😛
Yes, the suspense is nice 😀
