The future love poem is all about things yet to happen
When I meet you, a new line will be written
When I hear your voice, the words will turn into song
When I feel your touch, the stanzas will stand in attention like hairs on arms
Sending messages in the form of chills
To my heart that will be pumped through my veins to my brain
My mind will recognize you as the one this poem is about
For instance,
When we meet, our hearts will stop
Only for a second
They will stop so that they may beat in sync
We won’t see each other in that moment
Though it won’t matter because we will soon meet
On our first date,
I will memorize your smile and you mine
As we wait to see each other again
It will be the thing that fills us with butterflies
It will distract us in the worst and best way
By the end of year one,
We will have shared “I love you”
We will have also shared “I’m sorry”
“I miss you”, “You’re irritating”, “You’re enough”, “You’re everything”
We will have gone through enough to break up
However, it will be more than enough to stay together
Our first apartment,
It will feel more like a home
Combining our lives and becoming one
Celebrating our individuality
Fighting about our individuality
Loving though our individuality
This future love poem will be written once
Lived through daily
Thus I’m waiting patiently
Waiting for the day that my heart stops
When it does
Know that I will be searching
For the heart that beats the same as mine
