A list that is over 10 years old.
I drive like a maniac
I hang things from doorknobs
I am not easily impressed
I don't like eggs
I hate station wagons with fake paneling
I like cotton underwear
I feel safer with my watch on
I like getting letters
I prefer trees to bushes - this however does not apply to azeleas
I like fiction better than non fiction
I prefer the old Star Trek to the new one (I prefer neither now)
I like living alone
I buy myself flowers
I rarely open my mail
I love to make my bed but not as much as I love coming home to a made bed
I believe everything in this world has a place
your shoes
your soft shoes
soft, black shoes
carefully stepping
over the mud
avoiding the sidewalk cracks
now sitting in the chair
crossing and uncrossing your legs
while sipping sweet coffee
wool coat
clean shave
faded jeans
neat hands
holding the chipped cup
I wrote this about my ex boyfriend from college. He was the kindest sweetest man. I never really felt more loved than I did with him. He now teaches high school English and coaches track.
I'm so glad I dated him because had I not, I would have not really known what true love is.
He also was the first metro guy I dated. He was very neat, but not like OCD. He took care in his clothes and appearance and always smelled lovely.
He used to bring me breakfast in bed. Fresh fruit, croissants, and coffee with cream and sugar.
He was a runner and had a fantastic body. He had the best legs of any man I've ever seen.
He married his sister's best friend and now they have a daughter named Chloe.
This is the man that the rest get compared to. At least I have set the bar pretty high.
