Someday he'll come along, the man I love And he'll be big and strong, the man I love And when he comes my way I'll do my best to make him stay I ll look at him and smile, He'll understand And in a little while he'll take my hand And though it seems absurd I know we both won't say a word Maybe I will meet him Sunday Maybe Monday, maybe not Still I'm sure to meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day He 'll build a little home, just meant for two From which I'll never roam, who would, would you? And so all else above I am waiting for The man I love Maybe I will meet him Sunday Maybe Monday, maybe not Still I'm sure I'll meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day He'll build a little home, just meant for two From which I'll never roam, who would, would you? And so all else above I am waiting for The man I love

he’s an adult but he loves with the intensity of a teenager. he had a high-school crush at twenty-two and his life was forcibly put on hold as he learned how to deal with it. he couldn’t act on it for years, and even if he could, it wasn’t reciprocated. now it is. how his life isn’t on hold anymore, but he still loves purely, like a kid. he loves innocently and not so much. openly and not so much. he loves like it’s his first time doing it but like it’s his last love too and deep down he knows it’s both. he knows it’s forever and since always. he knows it’s soulmate love and meant to be love and not-sure-what-it’s-called-but-it’s-definitely-right love. what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is ours. i want a family with you and our honeymoon phase won’t end until well after our honeymoon because we have a lot to make up for. because we were on hold—our lives were on hold, on hold on the phone. and now there’s here and there’s now and there’s you and i’m an adult but i love you with the intensity of a teenager.
