I want someone who can listen to me

I want someone who can hold me tight when I cry

I want someone who cares about my thoughts

I want someone who hurts when I hurt and

I want someone who laughs when I laugh

I want someone who understands why I say what I say

I want someone who doesn’t mind being spammed with texts at 2 AM

I want someone who says “I’m still here” when the world goes wrong

I want someone who means it when they say “I love you”

Why can’t I find someone like this?
