just a little thought before i go to sleep.
i have someone in my mind, and the image never fades away. it only gets stronger.
this person encourages me. they want to know me, what makes me tick. they don't like making me angry, but they like to entertain my need to argue for the sake of arguing.
he has brown eyes. or green.
he thinks i am cute. especially when i say dumb things.
this person likes the music i do, introduces me to new stuff, and likes going to shows and getting drunk with me.
he likes to see movies. all movies. not just guy movies. and he will never deny me popcorn and sour patch kids with a diet coke.
he loves animals, and will love and treat my dog like his own.
he thinks i am funny.
this person has shaggy brown hair, sometimes sports the scruff on their chin, and wears leather jackets.
he is family-friendly, and i will not be nervous about showing him off to my family.
or my friends.
he knows exactly what i like to drink, and never has to ask me what i want.
he shows up with flowers or take out "just because"
he will help me out with things of an automobile nature, because in that department i am completely clueless.
they are not judgmental, and understand my need to be impulsive most of the time.
their family loves me and makes me feel welcome.
he has problems and issues of his own and isn't afraid to tell me about them, in depth.
whenever he feels like it.
he is not insecure about my feelings for him.
he is tall. and thin, but not sickly thin.
he thinks i am beautiful, no matter how many piercings or tattoos i get, or how long my hair is or what color i dye it.
or how many "styles" i go through. i can't help it if i'm ADD.
he loves me because i bring out the best in him, too, and he doesn't want to lose me, ever.
he's not superfocused on image or his body.
he wants to live by the ocean someday.
he can play music. and will play, for me, and sing.
... it's a long list. a tall order.
but not for me. i know he's out there, and i know he's looking for me too.
if i have to wait 2 more years, or 3 or 4 or 5 even, i will. because when i find exactly what i'm looking for, i know it will be worth it, and i'll never have to look again.
