I’ve packed my bags, I’m ready to go.
I’m not getting far cause I’m going slow.
I’m headed to bliss and where the past is set free.
Where love and time is in complete harmony.
Children and people dance and sing.
This world to be given with the gift of a ring.
A seal, a promise, a lifelong wish.
A never ending daze, an enchanted kiss.
I had a glimpse, but it shattered in the mirror.
I searched with my heart but it was blinded with tears.
Lost with no hope, I simply turned around.
Only with hope for something better bound.
As I was once told, we all fall off the tracks.
Just keep going, run, and don’t look back.

I think cheek kisses are really cute. I don’t know why. There’s something really sweet and innocent about a kiss on the cheek. Sometimes they’re nicer than lip kisses. I like cheek kisses. Cheek kisses are cute.

Now my writing isn’t anything close to Charles Dickens, so bare with me. I don’t know how to transition to my point so I’m just going to flat out say it. I have high standards. For a short period of time in my life, I really couldn’t find anyone who met them or even understood them. I spent some time with a few people and it didn’t work out because I believed they didn’t treat me the way I deserved. Now I’m not asking to be lavished in material goods or bowed down to every morning, neither am I saying that as a girl, I’m the one who gets all the spoiling with little effort put into the relationship. My bare minimal is respect and unconditional love. Simple. Moderately easy. BUT. BUT. BUT. There’s always an exception. Which brings me to tell you about my wonderfully cheese filled Filipino flavored boyfriend that I’m sure you all know about by now. 

Gosh I just sit here astonished at how well he treats me. The bare minimal I had? I now take that as rather disrespectful. He listens to me when I have good and bad things to say. He takes care of me when I’m sick and when I’m not. He loves me even though I don’t give him my all sometimes. He drowns me in little surprises and gifts that have so much meaning to me. He works so hard for me and invests in me, even though I want him to do those things for himself. He demonstrates husband like traits. He does all these things that I feel that the average guy should do for their significant other. However, I haven’t seen that happen yet for anyone else other than myself. I am so very fortunate to have him as my teacher, my chaperon, my teddy bear, best friend, boyfriend, my everything<3 

All I’m trying to say, ladies, just because someone can’t meet your standards doesn’t mean you should lower them. Don’t settle for something good, settle for something amazing. If you see a better opportunity awaiting you, don’t let it pass you. Remember that you only get out of something of what you put in. Always appreciate what you have. And last, love never ends. AMEN
