What I am learning so far

I'm learning how to live alone. To take care of myself. To love truly and deeply without becoming obsessed. To wait and to be patient. To find out what true love is. To care for the other like she were my daughter. To protect her and make her feel safe and special. But not to cling to her. To be her friend. To be a man and to be strong. Not to be one of her girlfriends. To enjoy our short moments together. To take responsibility. To be true and faithful. Not to alienate her friends. Not to embarass her. Not to be needy. Not to bribe her. To show how much I love her. To give her spice and drama. Not to bore her. To be there for her. And enjoy myself.
