a flower deserves to be watered, not plucked

A girl with a kind soul and heart isn’t meant to be someone’s toy.

She isn’t meant to be picked up whenever he needs company.

She isn’t there to reassure him he’s attractive and wanted.

She isn’t there waiting whenever he wants to come by at 2 am.

She isn’t there to be his listening ear, hearing him talk entirely about himself.

She’s kind, and she’s gentle.

She gets tired sometimes.

She gets lost sometimes.

Some days she’s happy with a full heart; some days she’s lost, empty, and confused.

Some days she wants to go out and explore nature to forget everything.

Some days she wants the company of good friends.

Some days she wants to hide in her room, lost in her bed of blankets.

She’s done playing games with temporary guys who don’t want to get to know her.

She’s not going to settle for someone just because he’s sweet and buys her things.

She knows she deserves a guy who takes his time, a guy who gets to know her for who she truly is.

Someone who knows her favorite foods and her favorite color.

Someone who knows how to handle her on days when she’s grumpy or tired.

Someone patient and kind.

Someone who she can talk to about anything, who accepts her tears and her giggles.

He doesn’t have to be perfect; she’s not looking for perfect.

She’s patiently waiting for the one who listens.

The one who takes time to understand all of her quirks, her favorite movies, what makes her mad, what makes her cry, her goals, and her aspirations.

Someone willing to accept all the love in her heart.

Someone ready to love her on her good days and her bad days.

Not someone who likes what they see and wants it for themselves, but someone willing to love and nurture her.

Someone ready to go through it all.

Who’s willing to learn, to make mistakes, to fight, and to laugh.

Someone who can teach her new things and open her eyes to a new perspective.

Someone who wants her to be the best she can be.

She’s looking for security and love with someone who she can be entirely herself.

Someone who makes life feel a little easier.

She’s not looking for temporary love.

She’s not looking to settle.

She’s willing to wait alone for now until she finds him because she knows she deserves nothing less.
