I don't need a man to be around
I can live without the kisses and such
I am tired of playing on the little ledge
Precariously fearing to act(with no hurt harm or danger, I wish...)
My ideal situation, romantically
Involves an internally strong man
One I can lean on unconditionally
One I can proudly show to my family
We'll be friends first, that's a given
We'll get to know each other slow
I don't share my heart and body
Without visible future for "us" in tow
He must be sentimental and care about little things
He must be socialable and comfortable in a crowd
I'd like him to love music as much as me
Be open to new cultures, and traveling free
He must stand by my side, loyal, and reliable
He has to be a skilled, comfortable communicator
He must want kids, more like 3 or 4
He must be OK being the man and taking care of me
I'll happily keep the house, write poetry, and cook
Be his biggest cheerleader when I feel loved and seen
When I am appreciated, and my Leo pride soothed
I am warm and generous, yet ambitious in attitude
I don't settle for less than the best life can bring
I am a diligent woman, who works without tiring
A good father role model is one I can respect
Without that in basic, nothing else can I expect
I know that he's out there,
a marriage-minded guy
I'm not live-in girlfriend matieral,
you'll soon understand why
I can be possessive and jealous,
when "us" is insecure
I demand only the best treatment,
and that ring will be proof
That he values and cherishs me
and the beautiful connection we share
