If you cared, you would
have said “I’m sorry”…even if you don’t think she was right. If you cared, you
would open her door because you don’t want her to lift a finger while you’re
around. If you cared, you would give her your jacket because you want to be the
only one to give her goose bumps. If you cared, you would call her every night
before you go to bed and every morning when you wake up because you want her to
be the first and last voice you hear everyday. If you cared, you would
listen to her when she’s upset or complaining because you want to be her hero
when no one else is willing to put in the effort. If you cared, you would fight
for her every step of the way because she’s worth fighting for. If you cared,
you would tell her you love her everyday because you don’t want her to go a day
without knowing how you feel. If you cared you would be spontaneous and bring
her flowers or make her a card or take her on a road trip or out to dinner to a
random place because you want your love to be just as passionate as the day you
met.
If you cared, you’d tell her that she looks beautiful when she is wearing
sweats and no makeup because you see her beautiful heart and body and you want
her to feel good in her own skin when she’s with you. If you cared, you’d hold
her hand and hug her and kiss her as much as you can because you can’t stand
the thought of going a minute without her by your side. If you cared, you would
support her, even if she’s making a mistake, because you want her to be
independent and strong. If you cared, you’d smile every time you see her in public
and tell your friends “that’s my girl” because you are so proud to have won her
over. If you cared, you would compromise because you want to do life together as two minds walking in harmony to one drum. If you cared, you would put your selfish ambitions aside for the greater of your relationship.
If you cared, you would do anything to brighten her day and see her smile, because the thought of her being sad or upset makes you ache. If you cared, you would put her happiness on the same level as your own. If you cared, you would do your best to get to know not just the facts about her, but the way she works, and why she does the things that she does. If you cared, you would make an effort to get to know her family and the people that matter to her most in her life. If you cared, you would drop your cool and open up because you trust her enough to give her your whole heart in the hopes that she won't break it.
There's this great quote from Bob Marley, "He's not perfect. You are't either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he's not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don't hurt him, don't change him, and don't expect more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don't exist but there's always one guy that is perfect for you."
Guys, we don't expect you to do all or even half of the things that are listed above. We don't expect you to be something that you're not. BUT if you can be sincere and treat your girl the way you would want your dad to treat your mom, I PROMISE YOU you will have the greatest relationship that you have ever known. It's not rocket science. We just want to be loved. TELL her you love her, SHOW her that you love her, and don't ever stop doing those things. It's the people that give up on the romance that ultimately give up on their relationship. You have to believe in fairy tales and happy endings and prince charmings :)
