A Man……..
By: Shannon R Fields
Tells you that you are beautiful when
you least expect it
On occasion sends you “Good Morning”
or “I love you” texts
Would stand up for you against anyone-
foreign or domestic
Laughs with you, cries with you, really
listens to you
Loves you unconditionally
Shares his t-shirts
Is spontaneous
Is not to proud to let you lead
Looks at you like you are the most
beautiful woman in the world
Knows that you have flaws and loves
you in spit of them
Takes care of you when you are sick or
drunk
Loves pictures and making memories
Is not afraid to let loose
Wipes away your tears
Knows when you need a hug
Doesn’t abandon ship when the waters
get rocky
Isn’t afraid to hold you hand or kiss
you in public
Is proud to introduce you to everyone
he knows
Knows how you take your coffee and
what you eat on your sandwich
Enjoys laying on the couch watching
movies as much as going out
Knows your fears, goals, dreams, and
fantasies
Can talk to you about anything and
visa versa
Means “sorry” when he says it
Holds the door open for you
Carries in your groceries
Finishes your sentences
Lets you drive
Never quits
I wrote this a long time ago and just
happened to find it when I was cleaning out my external hard drive. However
random it seems like perfect timing. And as I read over it for the first time
in years I realized that this is still what I want in a man.
You need to read EVERY SINGLE LINE and be willing to do the SAME EXACT THING for "THAT MAN".
ReplyDeleteI reread what was there after reading your post and honestly i dont get selfish; I didnt say that this is to sum up a relationship or that I am unwilling to anything for the "man" in question; Since I am divorced I feel like I have a pretty good understanding that any relationship is about compromise or balance; that is the lesson that I took from my first failed marriage; and I am not perfect or even close but if you have a good idea of what you want and expect from a partner I feel like it is easier to communicate and to find a person that wants to fill those shoes; and likewise I would want to be what someone else wanted; I guess I could write a response called "Being a Perfect Woman" or "being what a man wants"; And most of the things on that list so to speak are what make up a good relationship period; Honesty, unconditional love, support, kindess, acceptance......so I guess I could say that of course I would be willing to do those things. But I also wouldnt presume to tell someone else what they wanted based off what I want in a partner; that to me seems selfish
