Please, please

tell your daughters

tell your friends

and tell yourself,

that you deserve someone who will cross oceans to be with you,

not someone who flees at the first sign of conflict.

You deserve a man who comes to your door

instead of texting you "I'm outside."

You deserve someone who calls you and asks about your day

not someone who texts you at midnight when he is bored and lonely.

Times change

and generations evolve,

but your standards shouldn't.

Never feel like you are asking too much

because that simply means you're asking for it from the wrong person.

You are not hard to love

just because you demand to be treated the way you should be.

Wait for what you deserve.

Always.
