She will be intellectually independent and strong yet relish my ability to challenge her because she can do the same for me. She will amaze me with her smile, a smile that causes me to smile from the inside out, no matter what. Her skin is soft and smooth, her eyes enthrall. I'll get back to her eyes in a bit. She's a natural beauty and makeup for her is truly optional. She's intent on making a difference and this has manifest itself in her determined pursuit of excellence; whether that has been in higher education, her professional accomplishments and/or some other ambition. She values art, history, literature, philosophy, travel and exposure to different cultures, and she values fun too. Yes, I said fun! She does and doesn't take life too seriously ~ it is a balancing act after all. She reads, because one of us has to ~ just kidding, I read too, sometimes ;) She knows herself well enough to know there is still much to learn ~ about herself and the world at large. She is open. Open to dialog, to learning, to the highs and the lows, open to bonding, to partnership, and to me. She's able to truly love, to get lost in it, to manage me gently when my romantic nature kicks into overdrive. She's not overwhelmed with a trip to Paris and can forgive me if I'm not able to make every trip. She's the best person in the world to be with for a concert or night on the town. She's even better to wake up beside on absolutely every single morning sent our way. She's an equal. She's a beautiful butterfly. She's the one whose eyes I'll want to gaze upon ~ and no one else's cause it's in her eyes where I'll see her soul and my soul mate. And to be without her, well, it's just not right.

no more room to write... sorry.

really, i'd like to keep it simple, this isn't rocket science so i'd say a good plan is to meet somewhere for drinks so we can talk and gage if it makes sense to line up a second date.
