I want a man who takes care of me, I want a man to love me, hold me, and treat me like a lady. I want him to hold  my hand and tell me I’m pretty. I want to open doors for me, and do cliched things like put his jacket over a mud puddle for me to walk over. I want to wake up to his next to mine. I want him to be mine…

BUT

I want to be the lady who tends to him, in sickness or in health. I want to make a sandwich for him when he’s hungry, and take off his shoes and get him a drink when he gets back from work. I want to be the woman that puts a smile on his face, the woman he’s proud to talk about. I want to be the woman that doesn’t nag him or berate him, I want to be encouraging. I want to make him feel like he’s important and is doing a good job.

I want to be as much as the woman he wants me to be, as much as I want him to be the man I want him to be.
