" I Do "

I love him.

I have not met him yet but yes, i do. I have not seen him nor heard his voice,i do not know what he looks like,i do not know if he is short or tall,handsome or not,if he is soft-spoken or harsh,if he appreciates nature and its wonders,i do not know what his likes and dislikes are;but yes, i do.

I do not know if he has a temper,if he is capable of expression of his feelings-his heart's words,if he hates music or travelling, but yes, i do.I do not know if he will be possessive or totally detached or compromised,i do not know if he will love me the way i am,if he will like my wild ways,if he will reprimand me or love me more for it,if he will trek the hills with me,if he will treat me as an equal,as a child or high-hand me,if i will have to be strong for the two of us or if he will support me through my trivial tensions;but yes, i do.

I do not know if he is a family man,if he likes children,if he will come home early at the slightest opportunity,if he is a romantic or not,if he is playful or serious,if he likes socialising or is a loner; i do not know if he is passionate about life, i do not know if he loves God the way i hope he does or if he questions His very existence;but yes, i do.


I do not know if i will hum a carefree song in his presence, if i can shreik when i feel like it,if i can skip my way through the rooms again, but yes, i do.I know that my heart will hurt but i do not know for which;for my love returned beyond measure or for my love never reciprocated. I do not know if i will ever be the same again for better or for worse but yes, i still do love him,already. I Do...
