I've been waiting for you,
Yes, you.

The one who can take some and pitch some back,
With a sense of humor to match mine,
And willing to playfully argue.
Yes, you.

The one brave enough to speak his mind,
Not afraid of emotion, including his own,
And an ability to be sensitive, too.
Yes, you.

The one intelligent enough to contribute,
To keep the conversation alive,
And with goals he wishes to pursue.
Yes, you.

The one with the charmingly crooked smile,
The intently observing eyes,
And welcoming arms to climb into.
Yes, you.

The one patient enough to put up with me,
To love me even at my worst,
Because I would do the same for you.
Yes, you.

I've been waiting.
(:

'The one patient enough to put up with me,
To love me even at my worst', these are the two most beautiful lines i have ever read. The whole piece made my heart ache i genuinely loved this poem.
'I've been waiting' is such a powerful sentence, i got the impression she was a typical damsel in distress at first, just waiting and wanting but this is what a lot of people can refer to.

I think this is breath taking, and that you have a lot of talent.
