A Tribute to the Gentlemen

Every woman deserves a man who will open the car door for her without a reminder. A man who will cuddle, not for sex or kisses, but just to show love. A man who doesn't care what a date consists of as long as he gets to spend time with his love. A man who takes a woman's emotions seriously without asking if it's that time of the month. And when it is that time, he simply offers chocolate and a shoulder to cry on.

And every man deserves a woman who will rub his back after a long day. A woman who will laugh off his road rage or his grumpiness after a long day. A woman who doesn't nag her man but encourages and builds him so he knows he can be better without her saying it. A woman who will not withhold kisses and laughter, one who is patient with his shortcomings.

If you've found someone like that, please hold on to them. Don't nitpick at your love until you begin to doubt yourself. Realize their flaws and decide if you can live with those flaws or not. If you can, hold on to your love. Letting that love go will be your biggest mistake and your greatest regret. Because it's not about the perfect person; it's about someone who will love all of you, strengths and weaknesses and all.
