If destiny allows

I have no promises to make about the future, and I wouldn’t trust anyone who did. There is only a quiet hope, held loosely, and completely willing to be let go.

If it happens, I hope it happens slowly, honestly, and with both families able to breathe easily.

If it doesn't, I hope you find something better than what I imagined — and I mean that without any bitterness.

Either way, I hope the years ahead are kind to you, and that the people around you deserve you.

Hope, without expectation, is still a good thing to carry.
