Wait for someone who is truly kind -

Not just in words, but in every glance,

In the quiet moments, the everyday.

Kindness is the soil in which love grows,

And without it, even the brightest blooms fade.

Wait for someone whose kindness is steady,

Like the soft rhythm of a heart that knows

That love is built, not in fleeting moments,

But in the way we choose each other

When the world feels heavy,

When the storms are near,

When the sunlight isn’t enough to keep us warm.

Wait for someone who respects you -

Not just in the rush of new beginnings,

But in the quiet of the long days,

When the excitement of the first spark dims

And what remains is the deeper bond.

Respect is in the listening,

The way they hear your heart before it speaks,

The way they honor your pace,

And never ask for more than you can give.

They’ll hold your hand when the clouds roll in,

And never ask you to be anything other than who you are.

Wait for someone who gives without measure,

Whose love isn’t a tally of what they’ve done,

But in the tenderness of every quiet moment,

In the way they notice the little things -

The way they smile just for you,

The way they hold your world in their hands

And never expect anything in return.

That’s the love that lasts,

The love that does not count,

But gives freely,

With an open heart and a steady hand.

Wait for someone who believes in you -

Who sees the fire you sometimes forget,

And helps you find your way back to it,

Even when you feel lost,

Even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

A true partner will never dim your light -

They’ll fan the flames,

Encourage you to burn brighter,

To stand taller,

And be more of who you were always meant to be.

They’ll see the beauty in your dreams,

And they’ll never stop believing in them.

Wait for someone who sees you deeply -

Not just your smile,

But your fears, your scars,

The corners of your heart where darkness lingers,

And loves you still,

Not despite them, but because of them.

They’ll reach the parts of you that no one else touches,

And hold them gently,

As though they are precious,

Because they are.

Love like that doesn’t stop at the surface -

It dives in, deep and real,

And it holds you in the places

Where the world doesn’t always look.

Wait for someone whose actions speak louder than words -

Whose love is shown in the quiet consistency of their care,

In the steady presence they offer,

Even when the world is loud,

Even when things feel uncertain.

Let them be the peace in your storm,

The calm that comes after the chaos.

Someone whose promises are not just promises,

But commitments made and kept

Through the test of time and trial.

Wait for someone who invites you in -

Not just to their life,

But into their heart,

Their world, their everything.

They won’t just be content to be beside you;

They’ll weave you into their story,

The threads of your lives intertwined,

As if it was always meant to be.

Because love is never just about two people,

It’s about the worlds they build together.

Two lives, shared, with intention and care.

Wait for someone who makes you feel seen -

Not just noticed, but truly seen,

In all your light and shadow,

In all your joy and sorrow,

Without fear, without doubt.

Someone who knows the spaces in you

Where you hide your heart,

And helps you bring it into the open,

Who holds you close when you’re vulnerable,

And tells you, without a doubt,

“You are enough.”

And you will believe them.

Wait for someone who chooses you -

Not just in the moments when it’s easy,

But when it’s hard,

When the road gets rough and the skies darken.

Love is a decision, made again and again,

Not just a feeling,

But a promise that you will stand,

Hand in hand,

Even when the world tries to pull you apart.

Someone who doesn’t just want to be in your life,

But who will fight for you,

For your love, for your future together.

Wait for someone who makes love feel like home -

Not just a fleeting escape,

But a place where you can rest,

Where you can be yourself,

Where you can breathe,

Where every part of you is welcomed,

Where you don’t have to be anything other than what you are.

In their arms, you’ll feel safe,

And in their eyes, you’ll know

That you are cherished -

Just as you are.

Wait for someone who is real -

Not perfect,

Not flawless,

But raw, and human,

And beautifully broken in ways you understand.

Because it is in the cracks

That the light shines through,

And perfection is nothing more than a fleeting illusion.

But authenticity,

Real love,

That endures.

Wait for someone who will protect your heart -

Someone who sees your vulnerability

And guards it like a treasure,

Who won’t ever take it for granted,

But will hold it gently,

With care, with tenderness.

They will protect your spirit

As if it were their own,

Because they know that your heart

Is the most precious thing they’ve ever held.

And most of all,

Wait for someone who will choose you,

Day after day,

With all your flaws,

With all your baggage,

With all your imperfections -

And make you feel, in every moment,

That you are enough,

That your love is enough, ❤️
