You deserve someone who

The world is loud and the storms are cold.

The winds shout and the phone never stops ringing

It rings; it dings; it sings.

It demands your attention, your energy, your eyes.

So in case these distractions have made you forget

all that you deserve, let me remind you.

You deserve someone who loves you. and tells you.

And tells you and tells you and tells you.

You deserve someone who takes your hand

and skips down the street in the middle of the night.

Barefoot dancing at 3 in the morning because you can’t sleep

Because the dreams are too bright and the silence too long.

You deserve someone who sends you love notes.

You deserve someone who spends their sunday morning with you

Tender and loving and cozy, after an adventurous saturday night.

You deserve to have someone be patient with you,

on your bad days, when you can’t peel yourself out of bed

on your good days, when you can’t stop bouncing off the walls

on your long days, when you can barely keep your eyes open

on your happy days, when excitement pours of you and you can’t stop talking

when you eyes light up and your skin is on fire

it’s electric, it’s excitement, it’s your heart on fire,

you’re so excited you can barely breathe.

You deserve someone who sees your fire and doesn’t shy away from the heat

They are not afraid of being burned

They just want to share your light.

You deserve to sleep next to someone who loves you whole,

Who doesn’t pick and choose what parts they like

Who love and accept you as you are.

You deserve someone who will walk to the ends of the earth

just to make sure you smile;

You deserve someone who wants to be there,

who won’t be bored or apathetic.

You deserve all of these things and then some.

Believe in it. Believe in yourself.

Believe that you deserve it. Because you do.
