The Perfect Guy....
Sounds ominous when you say it that way doesn't it? Perfection. Such a detrimentally strong word. Who is perfect? How do you measure perfection. On a personal basis, imperfection is perfection... I know its rather shallow of me to have a list but I never claimed to be perfect. And I never will... We all have our preferences when it comes to guys (or girls... or both.. whichever tickles your fancy I guess...) but at the heart of it, we all share the same essence that we want in our partner... he/she has to be good, kind, honest...bla bla bla... So I'm just gonna skip all that and get down to the essence of what makes my ideal guy distinctively well, mine =)
THE LIST
1) Ever heard of the song shy guy? Yeap. I want a guy who's shy but not all that introverted that he can't get a word out... There's something sensitive about shy guys... (and they won't mind me being the chatterbox either)
2) I want a guy who would hold my hand when I'm feeling down or upset...
3) I want a guy who can hold me tight when I feel my world falling apart...
4) I'd love a guy who would greet me in the morning with a smile and a cup of coffee (once in a while! Hey, its not like asking for a buffet breakfast spread! Just coffee!)
5) I would love a guy who can walk into the bookstore with me and help me pick out a book that we can both read
6) I would love to be with a guy who I can share my whole world with
7) He has to be able to make me smile from a million miles away (How? He would be making me think of him constantly...)
8) Someone I can trust myself with (And this isn't an easy feat mind you)
9) Someone I can take long walks with and never run out of things to say to...
10) A person I can look at and see the world
11) A person who'd let me take them in my arms and share all my love with
12) A person who'd indulge me with that one ice cream even when I'm sick in bed because he can't stand my whining
13) A person who'd get so mad at me for something and yet embrace me when I mutter an apology
14) A person who'd share their life and world with me without veils or shadows
15) A person who'd make me proud to be with them... Who'd inspire me to be a better person for them
16) A person who'd place their friends, family and career ahead of me... A person who'd put me behind now knows their priorities in life and I have nothing but respect for them (him, whichever)
17) This person can be a million miles away and yet be the only one on my mind
18) A person who'd share his worries and pain with me...
19) A person who'd look me in the eyes and tell me that I'm not perfect but still find it in him to love me
20) A person who'd love me for the person I am...
21) A person who'd let me love them for the person they are
22) A person who'd know I'm not alright even when I claim to be
23) He can feel my pain even when I don't show it...
24) A guy who'd tell me he loves me if he does....
25) A guy who'd take my hand and see the world with me.....
Demanding? Perhaps... But I don't think I'm looking for much am I? I've been thinking about this pretty thoroughly and the question that I once had perhaps has been answered... I remember the conundrum I had about if I should simply settle for someone or hold out until I am truly in love... I'll hold out. I love deeply and unconditionally. And if a person doesn't come along that I feel I can share that affection with then I would much rather share it with the world through other means... I can't imagine being with someone I couldn't love inside and out... I've always dreamt about falling madly in love with someone who could steal me away from reality to a fantasy that I wish I'd never have to leave but life has its nasty little surprises... But in what circumstance should I sacrifice my dream? Why should I give up hoping that one day my dream may come true? And so what if it doesn't? I can love for the both of us (the nonexistent, fiction of my imagination) I have it in me to live a life alone but filled with love nonetheless....
