I always thought guys like you were only found in fiction. You know, the guys who give you roses just because, or serenade you to see you smile on a bad day. The guys who drop everything to be with you because they can’t stand another moment apart. You know, the one who turns on the music at home, hands you a glass of wine, and dances silly with you. The one who turns your sad tears into happy tears, and can make you laugh even after he leaves the room. The one who encourages you to be a better person, trusts you and supports your dreams. Basically, the perfect guy I’ve ever thought or read about.
I would reason to myself that even if those guys were real, I would never be the girl to date one. Not just because I thought guys like that were rare, but because I have always been looked over and called the “uglier friend”. I’ve been disregarded and left behind when her friends had their “ones”. Even if a guy did like me, they would get over me real quick -- I was just a phase, one they wouldn’t revisit. So, who would pick me? Who would get to know me, beyond the laughter and into the scars?
You don’t see me as the ugly friend or the the inept one. You haven’t left me, after getting bored.Â
You see me as beautiful, with no compare. You see me as capable and driven. You see me beyond my laughter. You see me raw, and still love me. That amazes me, and I am floored every time you express your love for me.
So, I won’t let you down. I’ll be your sunshine on a cloudy day. I want to be everything good in this world for you, because you’ve been that for me. You made me the lucky one.
