For the one who will love her after me; If you have made it this far and say you love her, congratulations. She’s not easy to love, but I guarantee she’s worth it.

For the one who will love her after me; Fight to pay for all the meals the two of you share. She’ll act like she hates it, but the smile that keeps poking through her “I can’t believe you did that” face will say otherwise.

For the one who will love her after me; When she calls you at 5pm exactly, ask her how her day was, because she just got out of work and she’s probably stressed out.

For the one who will love her after me; Write her poetry. Even if you suck, write her something. Write about the way her eyes change color in the sunlight. Write about her lonely dimple that you first fell for. Write about her scar on her upper thigh. Just write.

For the one who will love her after me; She loves trivia. Question her and quiz her. Just remember that any question you ask, she will ask the same and you better know the answer.

For the one who will love her after me; Remember how she drinks her coffee and remember that she will almost always order a sweet tea. Wake up before her and brew some coffee or she’s going to be a nightmare for a couple hours.

For the one who will love her after me; Remember the small things. The look on her face when you’ll mention something she told you weeks ago will make any knees weak.

For the one who will love her after me; She hates to sit with her back to the door. Makes her nervous and vulnerable. Let her sit on the other side of the table, even if it makes you uncomfortable.

For the one who will love her after me; Shake her fathers hand and make him laugh. Joke with her best friend and bond over y'all’s anklets. Drink with her roommates and give them a hard time. Love her dog, even if she smells like dirty water and roadkill. Love the dog and love the girl.

For the one who will love her after me; She’s going to claim that she doesn’t drink, but take her to play pool and watch her down three beers in less than an hour.

For the one who will love her after me; Accept the fact that she smokes and admire how the smoke lingers upon her lips just like your kisses.

For the one who will love her after me; She has a temper. A subtle temper that she will try to hide but she definitely has one. She hates to be yelled at or talked sternly to and if this happens, be prepared to talk some sense into her. Or just grab her hand and let her rant about how rude that one lady was.

For the one who will love her after me; She will not wear her seatbelt unless you kiss her and practically put it on her yourself. This is very important. Do not let her drive or ride without a seatbelt on. Protect her, even if she refuses. For the one who will love her after me; Don’t make her eat late. It’ll upset her stomach. Make sure she takes her medicine and if you wake up and she’s sitting upwards, just put your hand on her thigh and go back to sleep. She won’t want you to listen to her puke or be in pain.

For the one who will love her after me; Watch the sunrise with her. Bring a blanket, a pen, a crossword and some coffee and just sit in silence and watch the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen do her thing…and periodically glance at the sunrise.

For the one who will love her after me; Listen to her talk. Listen to her talk about her family. About her school. About her town. Just listen and admire the way the words flow off her tongue and sound like a heavenly bliss. Listen and remember.
