My Idea Of A Perfect Boyfriend

Let me start this by sharing my insight on my idea of a perfect boyfriend from a few years back. Back in grade school to high school, my views on what a boyfriend should be were rather idealistic and common. It was only those times when i formulated the traits that would make up the perfect guy for me. I wanted him to be drop-dead cute, funny,intelligent, and someone my friends would envy me for.

When i got into a relationship, however, i realized that though my earlier criteria still mattered, there are far more special characteristics i value. The first one is that he should have a genuinely good heart. This does not only apply to his relationship with me, but to everyone else as well. He is the one who would get along well with my friends and be gracious to my family.

He should not only be my boyfriend, but also my best friend. Being in the relationship gives me the reassurance that during my happiest times and my lowest points, someone is there to hold my hand. He'd be the first person i'd look for when i was feeling low. He would also be my sounding board whenever i get into disagreements with anyone in my family or friends. He'd the one who would say the right words to make me feel better. He'd the one i want to share exciting moments with, the one i'd want to be stuck in the car with during a bad traffic jam and the one i'd want to grow old with.

Lastly, my boyfriend should be someone who makes me proud. As two separate souls finding each other, we still have our own set of goals and ambitions. He'd be someone who is dedicated to what he believes in and succeeds in his own special way. Little milestone in his life would make me smile and would make me realize how lucky i am to be with such a brave and talented person.

There's a saying that goes,"There is no perfect girlfriend or boyfriend, only one who's perfect for you." For me, these characteristics are what make a perfect boyfriend. If during my early years, i fantasized on how a perfect boyfriend should be, this time, i'm basing it on someone i know... ;)

Love~

They said that to love is to give in..a decision to let a person be a part of you. Giving that person the right to touch your life – your actions, your plans and ambitions. This is a commitment you both share what you have. You give time for each other – to smile, to frown, to laugh, to cry, to talk about so many things in life. You don’t have to pretend because your heart truly knows what’s deep within. It is when you can be yourself when you are together – this is love.

I love you enough to trust you with all my heart. Enough to know that with you, I am secure. I know sometimes, I am such a childish one, a child who feels fear around her surroundings. Like a mouse in the desert, afraid of being bitten by predators. You know what I mean, and I am grateful because you always gives me strength, hope and a feeling of assurance. Everytime i listen to your voice, I feel your comfort and then I know a man is ready enough to fight for me, to take care of me and that man is you. And so I am grateful to have you. Whatever life may bring you, whatever mood you have, whatever you do, whatever your decision is, I am here, and I will be here to support you.

Love has come our way, we don’t know how, we even can’t explain. We just felt it, let it grow and now we are sharing a love – I believe no one can really understand. As what I have told you before, I can’t promise a life with always happiness because there will be times that we will be sad but this is for sure, no matter what happens I am here just for you...I’ll be. All you have to do is to call me and open up everything you want to say. I am here to listen to you, support you, to walk in every step of the way…

A journey ahead of us will not be easy but it will be worth it. We will do it together. Whatever trials we will be facing, all I want is your hand to hold mine knowing that we can do it together... together we will pass every test, every trial that may come our way. With you, I know everything’s gonna be fine. With you and me, together we will be…....

Always......

Because in Love you deserve to be a priority

I've done a lot of thinking lately. The thinking that only occurs when you're pressed between bedsheets and the clock is staring back at you in bright red 3am's and your mind is playing a constant loop of memories you'd rather forget.

Let's face it: My love life is pretty much a giant shit show. I've had my heart ripped out of my chest last year. It's a mix of youthful idealism and hope and a desperate desire to believe in someone against all odds. It's the lure of breathing in a familiar smell while tucked in the arms of someone you've silently loved for years, even though better judgment says he'll hurt you again.

I know that life is not a romantic comedy, but I guess I've still kind of fallen into the idea that maybe sometimes things are meant to be. I've learned a few things though. I constantly see couples breaking up, talking shit and then getting back together - an ebb and flow that they come to accept as normal. I guess on a grand scale I'm guilty of this, but recent events have taught me a very important lesson: the person who is really great for you, the person who brings out the best in you, your partner in crime? That person is not going to second guess your relationship until it's lost all meaning. That person is not going to rip your heart out of your chest even one time, and he certainly won't do it twice. And that person shouldn't make you an option, because in love you deserve to be a priority.

I might still fall silent when I stumble across old pictures. I might stay up until early morning hours to avoid thinking myself to death while trying to fall asleep. And, yeah, I might still ache to hear a confession of remorse.

But I'm not going to waste my time on someone who isn't great for me. Settling for familiarity is bullshit. As hard as it is, I'm going to move on. One day, I'll find someone capable of keeping my heart safe when I hand over the key and say, "Hey, don't fuck this up."

Thank You For Being A Part Of My Life

It’s been few months that we have been together.
We have gone through many things.
I have known you more with everyday
We have our happy days and not so happy days.
But the best part is..
We are still the same

Still remember the first time
I heard your voice
First time I met you
Remember the first time you say “I Love You”
Felt that the best thing happen to me
But the best part is,
You always surprises me

Days turn into weeks,
weeks turn into months
Sometimes we don’t have much time for each other
Sometimes distance plays a negative role
Life seem quite busy,
still life goes on
But the best part is,
there is sense of belongingness

Just a word from you bring smile on my face
Being with you,
I enjoy the magic of Love
Realize why it is call as falling in Love
Today, I love You more than yesterday
but less than tomorrow
Because I fall in Love
all over again with ‘You’

“Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime”

Life~

Life is too short so you have to move on to enjoy the rest of it. The one who left you, didn’t deserve you so why should you feel bad. He is the one who couldn’t see the gem that he lost. One day, when he does, he will repent because you have moved on to a better world.
