I Miss You, but I Haven't Met You

I was honestly really nervous when I hit the publish button on the post I recently shared called "Even When It Feels like I'm Drowning" because I didn't know how others would react to it. I didn't know if I was "too real." But I've been overwhelmed by the loving response people have given me. It brings healing just to be authentic and to hear when another says "me too."

Anyways, in light of that post and how I desire to one day get married and have more children, I thought I'd share this absolutely beautiful song that reminds me of my future hoped-for family. It brings tears to my eyes to listen to it. How can I so desperately miss and love people that I've never even met? I don't even know their names yet, but I so long for them. I'll wait patiently until God sees fit to bring them into my life forever.

To Whom It May Concern
The Civil Wars

Why are you so far from me?
In my arms is where you ought to be
How long will you make me wait?
I don't know how much more I can take

I've missed you 
But I haven't met you
Oh, but I want to
How I do

Slowly counting down the days
'Til I finally know your name
The way your hands feel 'round my waist
The way you laugh, the way your kisses taste

I've missed you 
But I haven't met you
Oh, but I want to
How I do

How I do

I've missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh, how I miss you 
But I haven't met you

Oh, but I want to
Oh, how I want to

Dear whoever you might be
I'm still waiting patiently
