Who I am is important in our relationship,

I have a hard facade but only in dealing with love,

I have been burned, hurt and tossed away.

It will take patience and perseverance to win my heart

What you will receive in return, I think, will keep you warm at night and laughing and smiling during the day.

You will also receive a woman full of neurosis and fear, who will lean on you to find her way through them. She can do it alone, but would love you by her side to encourage her to not run from but embrace what makes her special, what makes her different.

I will take your hand, show you a world some never notice. The small flower growing by the side of a busy street. The hawk sitting on the pole. The pheasant , the other day, I stopped in the middle of the road to watch glide in and then run really fast until he could stand. Then I laughed outloud as it was beautiful to see.

I will start talking, words pour out of my soul, but if you listen, don't laugh at me, but with me, I will share my world with you. I would love someone to finally listen to me.

What you will get in return will be wondrous, I promise.

I will sit with you, lay with you curled up against you. I will smile, laugh for you. I will take your face in my hands and stroke it, your arms, your soul.

I will lean into you when we stand and you will know your loved.

I will cry when you go away for to long, but your voice on the phone will calm me. I will sleep with your coat, your pillow, to keep your scent with me until you return.

Then, when you return, I will press my body into yours, lay my head on your shoulders and breathe deeply us and who we are together.

I will show you my world, my pain, my joy and I will learn yours. Every thing that has made you who you are I want to know.

I want to grow old together and sit under the moon and remember us, our life. I want to spend my eternity with you.

Love me, win me over, I promise you, you will never regret it.

Meet me under the moon, my man, my love, I am waiting.
