one day, i will find a man who meets all my standards and calls it the bare minimum. a man who does the things many people act like are too much. a man who replies with respect, stays honest, keeps his word, and reassures me without being asked. he will not complain about loyalty, effort, or giving time. he will not act tired of loving me right. he will do it naturally, because that is who he is. he will understand that being kind, faithful, and consistent is not something rare. it is how love should be. and while others call my standards too high, he will smile and show me they were only normal all along.
