Hopeless Romantic.

I was told that I am a hopeless romantic today.
It wasn't the first time that I've been told this, and it won't be the last.
I honestly should have been born in the 1800s.
I believe in true love.
I believe in Soul-Mates.
I believe in Prince Charming 
-- oh if my life were a Disney Movie.
I was told that I need to raise my Standards.
I was told that I deserve better than the pain they inflict.
Now, it's just believing those words.

I want someone who loves me.
I mean, really loves me. Who would lasso the moon and capture the stars if he could for me.
A man who does romantic gestures.
Like, names a star after me. Writes me a silly love poem. Calls me just to say I miss you.
I want a Man who makes me feel safe.
Who's fingertips will caress away any feeling of doubt I have.
I want a Man who isn't afraid to hold my hand.
Who will kiss me on the forehead in the middle of the night or hold me close when I cry.
I want a Man who isn't afraid to show me his heart.
Why? Because he knows that I won't hurt him.
I want a Man who rather stay at home cuddling with me, then out at a club.
I want someone who is mature.
I want someone that when they look at me, they see the beauty within me.
Someone that knows my heart, and wants to protect it.
Who would do nothing to hurt it.
I want someone who will never lie to me.
I want a Man who will never cheat.
Who finds the thought of that repulsive. 
I want a Man who knows what they want in life.
I want a Man to complete my Fairy Tale that I have embedded in my Mind.
I want a Man who is strong.
So I never have to worry when I close my eyes at night.
I want a Man who is funny.
Tells me the cheesiest jokes because he wants to see me smile.
Someone cares about people and has a heart of gold.
I want someone who wants me and only me.
That when he thinks of the future, it's me he sees.
I want someone that will watch me sleep.
Not because he is afraid I'll leave, but because he is so happy to have me.
I want someone that finds comfort in playing with my hair.
Or listening to my heart beat as he drifts to sleep.
I want a Man who knows that I fall hard.
But falls just as hard. So he will catch me when I tumble.
I want him to inform me when I'm being ridiculous.
Because he knows I'd do the same with him.
I want someone to have pity fights with.
Because we know that ten seconds later we'll be fine.
I want someone who is willing to fight for me.
I really just want someone to prove he isn't afraid to exist..

I set my Standards high, so scum can't continue to make their
way into my heart. It's far too fragile for anymore games.
