and i hope i marry a man who still speaks with love, even when he's angry. a man who is careful with his words when he's upset, who stays gentle instead of raising his voice. someone patient with my feelings, who calms my mind instead of leaving me alone with my thoughts for hours. a man who never makes me feel like i'm too much, but reminds me that my feelings matter. someone who listens not just to reply, but to truly understand. because sometimes i'm not trying to win an argument, i just want to feel heard. i hope i marry a man who always chooses kindness over pride and peace over being right.
