One Day, Someone Will Sweep You Off Your Feet

You’ve grown so good at convincing yourself that you will never get the love that you deserve. You’ve been too preoccupied with your doubts that you can’t help but be unaware of how you're icing out anyone who comes near your personal bubble. 

You’ve been looking down at your feet for so long that you fail to see everyone around you. You have mastered the comfort of solitude, independence, and contentment.

But someday, someone’s going to suddenly pop up in your life out of thin air and will try to get to know you. Someone’s going to bombard your inbox with text messages and voice mails that greet you good morning or ask how your day is.

They're going to annoy you, telling you stories, bothering you to share a piece of yourself with them, and persevering in talking to you despite your turn-downs.

This person is going to passionately prove themselves to you just to win you over through their hard-work and patience. They're going to make you bite your cheeks on the inside because you’re trying so hard to suppress a smile whenever they surprise you.

Someone’s going to make you roll your eyes over their cheesy-yet-romantic punchlines and undying words of affection.

You'll sing and dance in the shower because they bring that happiness out of you. They'll become the reason you use the most aromatic body wash in your bathroom’s cabinet. You know, the one that you’ve been ignoring.

Someone’s going to make an effort to make a long distance relationship work. You'll even have confidence that they will never cheat on you regardless of the mountains and oceans that separate you two.

Someone’s going to tell you “I love you” and while you can’t believe it, they will look you in the eyes and promise you that it’s for real. Someone’s going to care about your deep philosophies late at night and listen to your irrelevant rants about that rude passenger you sat with this morning.

They're going to encourage you to do your best at work or to get a high score on your final test or to focus on improving your art or to finish that project you started or to simply be kind to the strangers you are going to meet today.

One day, some person is going to inspire you with his or her monumental faith and gigantic love for Allah or Buddha or God and help you keep your own belief strong.

Someone’s going to make you appreciate the lyrics in every love song you hear and the romantic lines in every movie you see.

One day you will not fear rejections any longer because you know you’ll receive acceptances from that someone, no matter what. One day someone’s going to kneel in front of you, ask you to become their missing half for better or for worse, and sweep you off your feet.

Someday, someone is soon coming your way to change everything you believe in. So be ready.
