You want him tall, So you can feel small.
You want him mature,
But not too old.
You want him to be handsome,
But not too handsome, So you can always feel confident beside him.
You want to be courted by him,
But he is, of course, still so very hard to get.
He is yours, But not 100%.
You want him to be warm and loving,
But please, just do not touch me around that time of the month.
You want him to complete you,
But make sure he never forgets, that you are a strong individual and you are always better off without him.
You want him to commit, But let's not go all the way quite yet.
You want him sensitive,
But strong and stable.
You are only interested in true love,
A cleaner once a week and to work only part-time. You want him to stand beside you throughout life, But make sure he knows it is all his fault if things don't WORK OUT. It was all so perfect, He was going to be your one and only. But suddenly, his eyebrows are too bushy, His smile too uneven and his voice is too loud. He slouches when he walks, he eats with his mouth open, with the most obnoxious, smacking noise. Other than that, he was truly perfect. What a shame it did not work out. You will continue waiting for your real prince charming. What you did not realize,
is that he was already yours to have. Life is not worth much without sharing love and passion with another. With time the love evolves into reality. The sparks and passion might subside. But the admiration and respect, the memories and children you share.
That moment you look at one another across the bustling table, where words are no longer needed.
A squint of the eyes, with the years drawn around as lines. Can defeat the worn-out passion and a defeated heart. Your will flutter once more, but this time with both feet on the ground.
