One day you will wake up, roll over and see a face. But who’s face will that be? Why would it be that particular person? Would you love this person? Many answers pop into your mind while reading those questions. But the real explanation to them are I hope that I will be the one you roll over to.

Why Do I Hope It’s Me?

Because what you don’t know is while you’re laying in bed watching the football game that’s playing, I’m not actually paying attention to it. I’m watching your facial expressions and how you react to things. When we are laying down and I roll over with my back turned to you it’s not because I’m mad, but because I’m seeing what it would be like if I had to sleep next to you every night. I won’t lie I can describe sleeping next to you in one word: H-O-T. Because I’ve now cameto the conclusion that we will need some room to breathe and move if we need to. I love you and all but personal space is a good thing.

Why Do I Think You’re the “One”?

First things first, you’re the only young guy I’ve met who can partially pull off old man pants. I’m just kidding, but in all seriousness, I know it’s you.. There is no “I think.” The thing is I imagine things all the time. For instance when we run errands for your mom and we run to Walmart. Do you think I’m wondering about what’s on sale? Heck no, I’m imagining that we are shopping for us, me and you, our home. What about when we are around kids? Oh my, it gets me every time! I just want to melt to the floor when I think about it. You are so good with kids. When I see you laying in bed I can picture our baby laying next to you. I know you’re the one because I can plan all of this in my head and know it’s going to come true with you

When the Time Comes

Will you be ready? I sure hope so! I hope you can handle my random questions, arguments about what I do/don’t like, crankiness, and sass. Even though I’d never admit to these it’s true. I’ll own up to it! I get very cranky and sassy. So when the time comes I hope you realize that there will be many nights I talk all night long until I fall asleep, arguments about your feet touching mine, and the constant battle I have with always being cold. I will cry and breakdown, I will laugh and scream, I will love and will be loved.

Will I be ready? Heck yeah, I will be! Honey I’ve been planning this my whole life! From waking up and falling asleep with you, and watching you walk in from work, kiss me the forehead, and tell me about your day. When you need someone I’ll be here, when you come home from work I’ll have you food, when you need a nice back rub… I’m your girl. I love you so much and looked into so much that I’ll be ready for this when you’re ready.

When the Time Is Here to Put a Ring on it.

I only have a few request. For example I’m a sucker for old southern country weddings and traditions. You must go to my father, that truly means the most to me. Second, however, I need it all to be on video. You will need to hire people to capture this moment because it is one I’ll always treasure. Third, be patient. I may not say anything for the first minute and that’s just because the man of my dreams just asked me to marry him. Forth, remember that you better show some emotions at are wedding, because I don’t want to be the only one.

In All Reality

I hope that my hands aren’t the only hands drenched, I hope my eyes aren’t the only watery ones in the whole place, I hope that your voice is just as shaken as mine, and you have that feeling deep down inside. I don’t know what it feels like but if I had to guess it would be when you look into someone’s eyes and know that that person is the person you want to spend forever with.

I have found my worth, what I deserve, my rock, and my path. •| Haley B. Dockery |•
