Hopeless Romantic

Each person in a relationship has his or her own goals, hopes and dreams. However, you want to be sure that your partner is clear of yours (and you know theirs) so that you can work together to achieve them.

Better yet, if you are a good enough advocate for yourself (and respect your partner) you might just end up getting exactly what you want. Here is mine.

I want that last first kiss. I want to know how forever feels. I want to be the first thing you think about when you wake up, and the last thing on your mind when you close you're eyes (and vise versa). I want to grow old with you. I want to send you flowers for no reason at all. I want to say silly things to put a smile on your face. I want to be the first you call when you need advice. I want to share all life has to offer. I want to make love to you morning, noon, and night. I want our passionate kisses to last forever. I want to be honest with you at all times, whether it hurts your feelings or not. I want to be the shoulder you can cry on. I want to be your best friend. I want to smile for no reason at all when I think of you. I want to text you with simple I love you's. I want to take care of those days you're sick. I want to help you make your dreams come true. I want to hear your opinion whether I agree or not. I want you to be totally open with me. I want you to be the mother of my children. I want to remain healthy so I can be with you for many years. I want to be a better person for you. I want to not have to say a word, but we know what each other are thinking. I want to get this started as soon as possible. I want you to be proud I am your man. I want to call you babe, Hun, sweetie, and all those other cute names. I want to do things for you before you ask. I want to have the relationship people envy. I want to be your last love. I want to make you breakfast in bed. I want to have the tub ready when you had a long day. I want to know what you are thinking before you say. I want to look into your eyes in fifty years the same way I look at you now. I want to celebrate each week I have someone as special as you. I want to try new things with you. I want to stay in shape for you. I want to learn all you are interested in. I want to impress you when I can. I want to surrender my heart for your taking. I want do the things you like to do. I want to prove there are still a few good guys left. I want to prove love still exists.

I know when I say, "I want" it may sound selfish, but I have all my love to give for the right woman. There is nothing I wouldn't do to have this come true. I have waited my whole life and now it's yours.
The Man

A Good Woman
By Carol Naumann

One you should treasure, but not as a possession,
Who needs to be loved, not treated with aggression?
Her value is more than all the world's treasures,
Not just the sum of scale's unit measures.
She should always be built up, not torn down,
By all the words you speak, when she is around.
She needs to be hugged and not pushed away,
Especially when you both having a really bad day.
Words spoken to her in haste and anger,
Can place her fragile heart in danger.
She should be admired for her boundless love,
And looked upon as a true gift from Above.
Not used as a target for all your frustration,
But held close and kissed with loving admiration.
You should always appreciate her commitment to you,
And not take for granted what she's given up for you!
Kiss her and love her all that you possibly can,
And don't be embarrassed to be seen holding her hand.
Treasure each day as if it were the last,
And at the end of your life you won't be regretting your past.
