They are the ones who will make you feel that finally the search is over and at last, love is now here embracing you with so much reality. They are the ones who will let you breathe without thorns inside your chest that lets you bleed, they are the ones who will let you get up in the morning with all the warmth of sunrise and blankets, they are the ones who will remind you that your existence is the purpose why they find the world a better place.
Settle with the one who makes you feel that commitment is not hard to find nowadays. Settle with the one who lets you feel that they are genuinely choosing to stay, that they will choose you over and over again no matter what happens each and every day. They will make time for you no matter how busy the day is, they will surely let you feel the consistency of their efforts. They are the ones who will make you certain that you don’t have to ask for their sincerity because they are willing to stand by your side through thick and thin and that they will never leave you when things get perplexing. They will make you see that in this world there will be someone who stays no matter how hard it is.
Settle with the one who will never let you circle in confusion. In this world that is full of almost, it is a rare find to have someone who knows precisely what they want. Settle with the one who will never let you sleep doubting where you will put yourself in their lives. The one that will never get tired of reminding you that you are loved and valued, the one who will let you feel that their intention is real because they will never leave you hanging and guessing.
Settle with the one who makes you feel that you are loved for who you are. Settle with the one who will never let you feel that you are better for less. The one who will never judge your flaws, mistakes, scars, and imperfection all because they accept you for who you were, who you are and who you are going to be. The one who will hold your hand and will never let it go. They will be the one who constantly believes in your potentials, in your talents and they will never ask you to prove yourself just to gain their trust, respect, and care. They are the ones who are simply proud of your achievements no matter how big or small it is and will support you and got your back every step of the way. They will absolutely love you unconditionally with the pieces of your past, your thousand thoughts, your randomness, your entirety and they will never compare you with somebody else just because to them, you are rare, you are one of a kind, you are extraordinary.
Please don’t look for the best — the best that will qualify all the standards you have set and listed or the one that will outstand all the limitations you build because you might miss out the real thing. Don’t focus on the whole picture, sometimes it is okay to look out for the smallest details because it will make the entire thing worth staring.
Settle with the one who will never try to be the best but instead will do everything to be the better.
