12 Things I Need in a Lover
Adventure. I want someone willing to drive off into the desert on a whim, just to watch the stars, someone who will take my hand to help me climb a fence so we can wade in the river. I want someone who shares my belief that rules are simply suggestions for those seeking guidance as they navigate, someone willing to push boundaries and succumb to the unknown.
I want a stealthy vagabond.
Laughter. I want someone dry and witty, someone light-hearted and ironic; someone unafraid of judgement.
Ambition. I want someone motivated, focused and responsible. I want someone accountable, who sets goals and achieves them because not only do they understand the meaning of hard work, but they’re fearless and go after what they want without hesitation.
I want a dreamer with drive.
Insight. I want someone who gets me, someone comfortable in the silence. I want someone who knows when to hold me close and when to tell me no. I want someone unafraid to share, to unravel and fall vulnerable, someone accepting of my console.
Resistance. I want someone who will inspire me to grow, someone who questions and challenges me. I want someone audacious and relentless, someone with an opinion, someone who will listen and respond, rationally and intelligibly.
Intelligence. I want someone who reads, someone with interests and hobbies. I want someone with a social conscience and a thirst for knowledge, someone anomalous, fascinated and brimming with curiosity.
Acceptance. I want someone who won’t look to change me, someone focused on their own path to self-betterment, someone who won’t stand in my way, but instead offers me space. I want someone who will love me along with my flaws, unwavering as I grow.
Passion. I want someone to dance with me in the rain and play with me when we’re stuck in the mud, someone adept at loving fully. I want someone who never outgrows sandcastles or tree forts, late night concerts, picnics, or somersaults, someone who drives with the windows down and the music up. I want someone inclined to climb up a mountain at dawn, camp in the desert for the full moon, jump in the ocean after sunset, and stop at all the vistas.
Respect. I want someone who will respond to my messages, maybe even muster up some chutzpah and surprise me with a phone call, someone who will confront issues rather than ignore them, someone with control of their emotions and the capacity to communicate honestly and openly. I want someone who makes me feel significant.
Trust. I want someone who makes me feel secure because there’s nothing to hide, someone who responds with acceptance and understanding and has faith I’ll do the same, someone capable of giving and forgiving. I want someone I can tell all my secrets.
Candor. I want someone always willing to speak the truth despite fear of conflict, someone earnest and forthright, someone frank and unequivocal.
