He Taught Me Patience

A love letter that I will never get to him.

If there is anything liking him ever taught me, it’s patience. I waited for a weekend and a whole day of classes until I saw him again. I waited for another day to pass, prepared my nice clothes so I could see him again the next day. When it didn’t come, I patiently waited for a month until classes resume so I could see him again. I haven’t seen him again. Months passed by and I’m still waiting.
I just realized how I have never been this patient with someone. Usually I’d make rash decisions but right now, all I’ve been doing is wait. Because his is someone that I know I will only encounter once in a lifetime. He is very precious. I know there are still a lot of people I have yet to meet but I also know that there would be no one like him. So I’m treating him like a sunrise, I like and admire him but I never try to own him yet I could never really let him go, believe me I tried. He has taught me to find joy in the period that I wait for him. That night, I went to that party without a single thought of him, without ever thinking that I will go home with him. Yet, I was drawn to him, it was an unknown force that put us together that after that night I knew my heart was bound to him. He made me a quiet person. I kept my mouth shut of that night that felt like magic because I always thought that if the wind even heard it, it would take it away from me. He made me a very patient person. That I will go through that season of waiting because if he is meant for me, he will cross my path again.
And if not, I know the waiting will prepare me for the love that is for me when it comes.
