“One day, he’s going to
know. He’ll know your birthday, your middle name, where you
were born, your star sign, and your parents names. He’ll
know how old you were when you learnt to ride a bike, how your
grandparents passed away, how many pets you had, and how much you
hated going to school. He’ll know your eye color, your
scars, your freckles, your laugh lines and your birth marks.
He’ll know your favorite book, movie, candy, food, pair of
shoes, color, and song. He’s going to know why you’re
awake at 5am most nights, where you were when you realized
you’d lost a good friend, why you picked up the razor and
how you managed to put it down before things went too far.
He’s going to know your phobias, your dreams, your fears,
your wishes, and your worries. He’s going to know about
your first heartbreak, your dream wedding, and your problems with
your parents. He’ll know your strengths, weaknesses,
laziness, energy, and your mixed emotions. He’s going to
know about your love for mayonnaise, your dream of being famous
when you were five, your need to quote any film you know all the
way through, and your fear of growing older. He’ll know
your bad habits, your mannerisms, your stroppy pout, your facial
expressions, and your laugh like it’s his favorite song.
The way you chew, drink, walk, sleep, fidget and kiss. He’s
going to know that you’ve already picked out wedding
flowers, baby names, tiles for the bathroom, bridesmaid dresses,
and the color of your bedroom walls. He’s going to know,
get annoyed at and then accept that you leave clothes everywhere,
take twenty minutes to order a Starbucks, have to organize your
DVD’s alphabetically, and check your horoscope… just
incase. He’ll know your McDonald’s order, how many
sugars to put in your tea, how many scoops of ice cream you want,
and that you need your sandwiches cut into triangles. He’s
going to know how you feel without you telling him, that you need
a wee from a look on your face, and that you’re crying
without shedding tears. He’s going to know all of it.
Everything. You, from top to bottom and inside out. From
learning, from sharing, from listening, from watching. He’s
going to know every single thing there is to know, and you know
what else? He is still going to love
you.”
