Fall for a woman who …

Fall for a woman who doesn’t need you.

One who has rebuilt herself from nothing,

more than once, with her own two hands.

One who is delicate like fire,

who could scorch earth

or warm your soul.

Fall for a woman who isn’t afraid to burn

for what she believes in,

and refuses to force

what isn’t meant to be.

Fall for a woman who lights up

when impassioned,

who still romanticizes life,

and is awed by the beauty of the moon.

Fall for a woman who isn’t afraid

of who she’s becoming,

and expects the best of everything.

One who refuses to settle,

and will challenge you to grow

in ways you never knew.

Fall for a woman who is so loyal,

so faithful and determined,

that there’s no room in her life

for anyone who isn’t.

Fall for a woman who sees your pain

and imperfections

as something to pour her love into.

One who accepts people

for what they show her,

not what they promise or claim.

Fall for a woman who values her time so much

she won’t waste it anywhere it isn’t appreciated.

Fall for someone who will inspire greatness

in you,

and who moves you in the direction

of your dreams.

When you find her, be there entirely, bravely,

wholeheartedly.

Give her your hands,

your energy, patience, and attention.

And show her there is no place safer

than the place right beside you.

Then, no matter what,

don’t let her down.
