I miss someone I have never met

I have always been a hopeless romantic ever since I can remember, even more so when I read my first Nicholas Sparks book. I have always dreamed of that epic love story being swept up off my feet when I least expected it. Its getting harder to wait for Prince Charming the older I have gotten I know it will be worth the wait, but this is a long journey. This is not me complaining, I have so much to be thankful for and to look forward to in life. I'm just going to be real for a second. Being single sucks especially now with the pandemic going on but not only that but online dating is no longer a choice for me. I am truly happy for those that have met the one and are no longer waiting. I don't wish this waiting on anyone, because everyone deserves someone to be with. I have been trying not to focus on my relationship status, and I can't speak for the rest of the single population but its hard not to think about at almost 28 years old. I summed up how I was feeling in one simple phrase, and its I miss someone that I have never met before. Someone is missing from my life. I mean how can I miss someone this much that I have never met before? Its an easy answer I crave to be with someone to like everyone else does. I miss Prince Charming at family gatherings with the empty chair next to me, on small family road trips someone should be sitting next to me, awkward gatherings where I can't whisper, "are you feeling awkward to?", when amazing things begin to happen I want someone to hug/kiss, Someone to do everything/nothing with. Seeing everyone else have someone makes me want it more, its not jealousy or envy its just that pure joy you see on their faces knowing they have met the one. I know someday there will no empty chair next to me, someone next to me on small family road trips, someone I can whisper, "are you feeling awkward to?", someone to hug/kiss, someone do everything/nothing with and I will no longer remember the feeling of missing him. I didn't realize I could miss someone so damn much that I have never met before. I pretend to be cynical and not care just to make myself forget I'm single, but who am I kidding? I love love stories, romantic movies, and hearing how people have met the love of their life. Who knows maybe I already met him without knowing. I could've drove past him, walked past him in the grocery store, spoke to him even if it was just saying excuse me. The urge to find the one is getting stronger and where ever this special man of my dreams is, I am tired of missing him and I just want him in my life already! Where for art thou Prince Charming? I guess the answer is well trying to find me like I'm trying to find him. As God as reminded me, Just a little bit longer! One day soon I will have him and not be missing him.

Till Next time!
