I hope I find a man like you. I know it's not a possibility to say that I hope I can continue to be in your life so I'm okay with saying I hope I find someone like you. When I really got to know you, you made me happy. I smiled when you looked at me. I liked spending time with you because you make my heart happy and all fluttery inside like when I was a giddy little girl who had a crush on the boy who sat across from me at my lunch table.

I'm okay with the reality of this relationship: pretty much nonexistent. I'm okay with you as my friend. I'm okay with the occasional, "what's new in your life?" text or the classic, "you'll never guess who I ran into!" line in your inbox. We're friends. That's good.

That doesn't change who you are. I admire qualities in you and I can only pray that someday there's someone that is put into my life who shares parts of your personality.

I want a man like you. A man who puts his faith high on his priority list. A man who values time with his family. A man who is creative and has a way with words that makes me want to keep reading. A man who loves sports as much as I do and who can simultaneously spend hours just lounging around and talking about anything this world has to offer.

I pray I find a man like you. A man who's good with children. A man who finds new music and likes to analyze numerous meanings behind the lyrics. A man who has a plan, but knows that life can be crazy and, ultimately, we have no control over it.

Well, you have a plan. Whether you know it or not, there's a plan for you and who's to say whether or not I'll be in it and how. I think you'll go on your big adventure and discover the life you're meant to live and I'll go my way. I pray there's a man out there who values what you value and carries himself the way you do. I'd be very blessed to find that.

I hope you find someone that makes you smile, too. Someone you admire and someone who makes you laugh. A person that makes you think about important things and you can truly open up to. You deserve it
