**Wait For The Man**
Wait for the man who doesn’t rush it.
Who takes your hand **only** when you hold it out for him. Wait for the man who tells you who he is, and who doesn’t hide his broken parts. The right man to wait for is **not** the one who pretends to be flawless or convinces you that he has gone through life untouched by pain.
He will not wear perfection as a mask. Instead, he’ll open up about the heartbreaks that reshaped him, the mistakes that humbled him, and the mountains he’s had to climb alone. He won’t pretend to have it all figured out, because he knows real strength is found in honesty, not in illusion. He will share the truth of his journey, the moments he fell apart, and the lessons those moments taught him. And in doing so, he will create a safe space for you to do the same.
When you tell him the truth about who you are—the scars, the regrets, the times you settled when you shouldn’t have—he won’t flinch. He won’t weaponize your vulnerability or pull away in discomfort. He’ll listen, really listen, and then gently remind you that none of those things make you unworthy of love. He’ll see the beauty in your brokenness because he recognizes it in himself.
He is not perfect. He will make mistakes, say the wrong things, and sometimes fail to understand. But the difference is that he’ll care enough to try again. He’ll show up on the hard days, not just the easy ones. He won’t run when things get complicated, because he values connection over comfort, truth over fantasy, depth over surface.
His love will not be loud or boastful—it will be steady, grounding, and real. He won’t need to prove it with grand gestures; you’ll feel it in the quiet ways he protects your peace, respects your boundaries, and honors your heart. He won’t make you question your worth or your sanity. He won’t leave when life gets messy, because he knows life *is* messy—and he will walk it with you anyway.
Wait for the man who celebrates your victories without envy and holds you through your failures without judgment. Wait for the man who can be honest about his fears, admit when he’s wrong, and apologize without defensiveness. Wait for the man who doesn’t demand perfection from you because he knows that true love isn’t about flawless appearances—it’s about authenticity, compassion, and commitment.
Wait for the man who sees your light, but also acknowledges your shadows. Wait for the man who cherishes your growth, encourages your dreams, and stands beside you as both partner and friend. Wait for the man who chooses you—not because you complete him, but because he values you as a whole human being, with flaws, strength, and everything in between.
He is imperfect, but his love for you will be the closest thing to perfect you will ever find. It’s the kind of love that doesn’t break under pressure but grows stronger, more tender, and more real with every passing day. And that love is worth waiting for.
