I don’t want a lover.

I want a partner who will support me through all the struggles and difficulties of life. Someone who will stand by me even when things get rough and unpleasant. When our lives turn into the harsh waves of a stormy sea, I want my partner to be by my side. I want to have an equal who will purse our mutual goals with me. Someone whose ambition is as strong as his love for me.

I don’t want a lover.

I want a companion with whom I can discuss philosophy and our deepest thoughts at 2 am. Regardless of how silly I might think my emotions and feelings are, I want to have someone who will never make me feel like I’m less than deserving of the best.

I don’t want a lover.

I need a soulmate in the most traditional sense of the word. I need them to be grounded and level-headed, but I also want them to have the imagination and spontaneity of the most open-minded child. Our love has to be extraordinary yet ordinary. Something that puts the wind in my wings and makes me believe that everything is possible.

I want a partnership that will last forever. A partner who takes care of me just as much as I take care of him. Moreover, I want someone who understands that we are two individuals. We’re different and have our own dreams and goals, but we come together to build a beautiful life together.

I don’t want someone who only desires my lips and body. Quite the contrary. I want someone who will admire me for my intelligence, deep mind and an incredible view on life. Someone who will protect me and fight for the things that we both believe alongside me. I don’t want a knight in shining armor – I’m my own knight. I simply want someone who will stand with me, shoulder to shoulder and conquer the world by my side.

I don’t want a lover. I want a partner.
