My Fervent Hope for You...

I hope you never let the--or our--past leave you jaded and bitter.
I hope you linger on the good, yet still learn from our mistakes.
I hope you'll never regret it--us.

I hope you find someone that can love you the way you want need to be loved.
I hope that when it comes along, you will let that love in. Wholeheartedly. And without hesitation.
And I hope you can show such tried* love in return.
Again, wholeheartedly. And without hesitation.

I hope your life leads to happiness.
I hope it leads you to love.

*tried-adj.; good, faithful, and trustworthy through experience




(Yes, after reading this, I do realize I probably could have just quoted "I Will Always Love You" and have said the same thing!)
