Fall for a woman who makes you uncomfortable.

One who feels completely at home,

in her own skin

and in her own company.

One who’s familiar with her faults

and is always a flight risk.

It’s much harder to hit moving targets,

especially the ones learning on the run—

always learning,

always running.

Fall for a woman who has a list of books

she’s promised herself to read.

And one who knows where to leave her teeth marks on you.

One who has a fire in her belly

and a passion to fuel it.

Fall for a woman so beautiful inside

that you can’t help but stare at who she is.

Fall for a woman who’s multidimensional.

Who has levels,

and layers,

and dark corners,

and curves you must explore.

Fall for her intricacies

and her strange ways.

Do not fall only for her looks;

fall for what the rest of the world continues to overlook.

Fall for someone better than you

someone who will work with you

in lockstep.

When you find her,

fall all the way.

And let her know it’s safe to do the same.

Then,

no matter what,

don’t let her down.
