Locked down with my Ukulele 38

These are strange times and I’m now properly single.

One thing lockdown has made me realise is that I don’t want to be alone. I want to find that special someone who is my soul mate. So I write a letter to that someone that I haven’t met yet.

Dear Someone I haven’t met yet.

I have been called a hopeless romantic. I look to the future with optimism. I hope it’s not an unrealistic expectation as obviously I’ve not been good at relationships to date.

I believe that my soul mate is out there somewhere, which means that there is quite a good chance you don’t know I exist. I don’t know how to identify you. I hope we’ll not pass in the night and miss each other.

My hope is that we can meet. Right now we are in Covid restrictions and it’s unlikely we can meet in a crowd. It’s ironic that I’ve been alone for some time and now I can meet I can’t meet. I do know you will be a beautiful person. You would have to be to like me. I have many bad habits.

I am looking to love and be loved. In an earlier blog I wrote about an elderly couple I know that were still in love. I hope we can find that kind of love. I have to get to know you first and I look forward to hearing about your life. I’m sure we will both have some baggage but the goal would be to help each other carry it.

I look forward to looking in your eyes and not having to say anything. I look forward to being able to be in the same room and sharing your air. I look forward to being able to touch you. I look forward to learning about the things you like and the things you dislike. I hope I will be able to identify the difference.

I hope we like the same music. I hope you’ll be able to put up with my singing and my average ukulele playing.

I look forward to meeting you in person.

Hi

Haven’t met you yet (Michael Buble)

And I know that we can be so amazing

And baby your love is gonna change me

And now I can see every possibility

Somehow I know that it’ll all turn out

You’ll make me work so we can work to work it out

And I promise you kid I’ll give so much more than I get

I just haven’t met you yet.

I heard Mr Buble refer to this as a break up song. It’s hard to believe when the tune is so bright and chirpy.

Stay safe
