All I Wanted Was You...

There is one question that keeps buzzing around my mind.
         What am I looking for in a future partner?
This is the question that is haunting my thoughts every second that I'm not distracting myself from it.

          So what am I looking for?

Well, I want someone who will show me they care, and keep showing me they care as long as we're together.
I want someone who is kind to me, who can make me laugh and smile.
Someone who will cheer me up on my dark days.
Someone who will hold me after a particularly bad nightmare and "I'm here, don't worry. I've got you."
Someone who will join me for long walks.
Someone who is willing to travel the world with me, learning new things as we go and explore new cultures and people.
Someone who loves animals just as much as I do and is willing to allow me to have a whole pack of dogs.
I want someone who will listen and understand me. Or try to at least.
I want someone who will hold me when I cry, and not saying anything. Just wait for tears to stop and then try and find my smile again.
Someone who will understand that I will open up to them about my problems in my own time.
I want someone who reads a lot of books so that we can swap our favourites and discuss them together.
Someone who will understand that I sometimes need my space, sometimes I need to be alone.

Above all, I want somebody who I can show the real me. Someone who will accept that person and all of the flaws and complications that come with it.
