I don’t want one night stands and flings

I don’t want todays without tomorrow

I want growing old together, I want a forever

I want love

I don’t want fancy dates and expensive gifts

I want handpicked flowers from your mother’s garden

I want butter and jam sandwiches with a good morning letter

I want simple things

I don’t want you to fight your family for me

I want gatherings with a braai

I want our kids to play with your nieces and nephews

I want unity

I’m not looking for a rich man with expensive cars and clothes

I want a hustler who never goes to bed with an empty stomach

I want a hardworking man who works with his friends to provide for his family

I want originality

I’m not looking for a perfect man without flaws

I want him to understand that sometimes I break and I shudder

Because I’m just human and I have a heart

I want understanding

I don’t want someone who will act cold towards the pain of life

I want a shoulder to cry on

And a friend to talk to on my breaking point

He has to have a caring heart

I don’t want nights spent at expensive hotels and fancy food

I want picnics under an oak tree at the park

And flying kites during the springs near the lake

I want beautiful memories

I don’t want double dates with your rich friends

I want movie nights and giggle filled pillow fights

And nights dancing as we are moving our stiff bodies

I want happiness

I don’t want the world and all that belongs to it

I want you, I want all of you

Because in your heart there is a cup of purity

And it always overflows with love

And you are love
