“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot..”
This boy lets you steal all the covers on cold nights, shares dessert with you even after you’ve said you were full, lets you choose the destination on a spur-of-the-moment road trip, tells you that your smile is the one thing he looks forward to every morning, kisses you good night every night… even when you are apart, washes and combs your hair in the bathtub, surprises you with ‘snail-mail’, continually reminds you that you are the best of the best, is comfortable just sitting with you soaking up all the words unsaid, really hugs you… the kind that leaves a mark on your heart, holds your bag while you try on clothes that make him melt, speaks only with honesty even when the conversation may hurt, brings Kleenex to sad movies because you may need it… most likely both of you. keep this boy, because no matter how many times he tells you he loves you… he’ll feel his words fail him and fall oceans short of conveying his passion for you.
Hold on to the boy who walks on the inside of the sidewalk to block any sudden splashes from cars, makes you breakfast in bed, gives you “hot hands” to help with the pain of cramps, tells you when you have food in your teeth, notices when you have cut or colored your hair, also notices when you’ve made yourself up for him… and only him, stands on the Skytrain and lets you sit, kisses the back of your neck to say goodbye in the morning, brushes the hair from your face so he can see just how beautiful your eyes are, lets you know that no matter how dark things seem he will be there to get you through… by your side, leaves you little post-it notes telling you that he will love you until the end of time…
Never let go of a boy who reads to you in bed, is brave enough to try your new adventures in cooking, wake you up to see a sunrise or phones you to share a sunset, kisses you when you least expect it… with the kind of kiss that punctures your heart, whispers “you shine in a world full of ugliness”… and really means it, stays home instead of going out with the boys so you two can give each other facials, realizes there are times when you want to be alone and doesn’t make you feel guilty about it, and lets you know - without a doubt and only a simple glance… that you two are halves of the same heart…
That boy is me.
