To The Woman I Haven’t Met Yet

I’m writing this in a quiet coffee shop, watching couples share secret smiles across their tables, and I can’t help but think of you. Yes, you — the woman I haven’t met yet. The one who will turn my “I” into “we” and my “someday” into “today.”

Here’s what I want you to know:

Somewhere between today and tomorrow,
Between the known and mystery,
You’re living your own story,
While I’m writing our history.

I wonder if you’re out there dreaming,
Of the love we’re yet to share,
Or if you’re busy becoming
The woman who’ll meet me there.

Are you laughing with friends right now?
Or chasing dreams across the sky?
Are you healing from past wounds?
Or learning how to fly?

I’m preparing myself for you,
Growing through joy and pain,
Building a life worth sharing,
Learning to love again.

I promise when I find you,
Or when you find me,
Every step that led us here
Will make perfect sense, you’ll see.

Until then, I’ll keep growing,
Building dreams and making plans,
So when our paths finally cross,
I’ll be the best version I can.

To the woman who’ll share my name,
Though we haven’t met just yet,
Know that I’m already grateful
For the love we’re gonna get.

More Than Just Words

You know what’s funny? Writing this poem made me realize something. While I’m here romanticizing our future meeting, you’re out there somewhere, being absolutely amazing all on your own. You’re probably:

Crushing your career goals

Making memories with friends

Fighting your own battles

Having adventures

Maybe even wondering about me too

And that’s exactly how it should be.

The Real Love Story

The truth is, this isn’t just a poem about finding love. It’s about the beautiful journey of becoming the right person while waiting for the right person. It’s about understanding that the best love stories start with two complete individuals who choose to build something together.

To My Future Wife

When we finally meet, I hope you’ll read these words and smile, knowing that even before I knew your name, I was thinking of you. I hope you’ll see that I didn’t just wait for you — I prepared for you.

I hope you’ll understand that I wasn’t looking for perfection, but for someone perfectly real. Someone who:

  • Has her own dreams and isn’t afraid to chase them
  • Knows her worth but isn’t afraid to be vulnerable
  • Has battle scars but still believes in love
  • Can be both strong and soft
  • Makes mistakes but learns from them
  • Isn’t looking for someone to complete her, but to complement her

Until Then

Until our paths cross, I’ll keep:

Working on myself

Building my dreams

Learning from my mistakes

Growing through my experiences

Keeping space in my heart for you

They say the best things in life are worth waiting for. But I believe the best things in life are worth preparing for. So while this poem is for you, my future wife, the work I’m doing is for us — for the life we’ll build together.

And when that day comes, when we finally meet, I hope you’ll look at me and think, “Ah, there you are. I’ve been preparing for you too.”


To everyone out there waiting for their person: Keep growing, keep loving, keep believing. Your story isn’t over — it’s just getting started.
