Population Seven Billion

Somewhere, someone you've never met loves you with all of their heart.

They don't know it, but this person has been waiting for you for their entire life.

You are everything this person will ever need.

Every crack, every scar, every hurt this person has ever suffered, you will heal.

This person will always feel safe with you.

This person will never feel alone with you.

This person is looking for you right now, and always has been.

Through all the hardship and loss and regret, the one shining light in this person's life has been you.

The thought of becoming one with you.

The thought of finally being able to be complete.

You will never meet this person.

You will never feel their warm breath soft on your cheek.

You will never wake to find this person watching you sleep.

You will never smile knowing that you made this person happy.

You will never think of this person upon hearing a particular song.

The two of you will not have a grand and beautiful wedding day.

You two will not grow old together, surrounded by your adoring grandchildren.

You will both settle for far less and regret your choices for the rest of your lives.

You will both resent this outcome and take it out on those around you.

As you both grow older, your hopes and dreams will fade, leaving only regrets.

You will both die sad, lonely deaths.

It's a shame the two of you never met.
