Are you the man who chooses me every day?
Can your actions say the same things as your heart?
Can you feel enough standing beside me?
Can I be free and still feel safe in your arms?
When loving me gets difficult,
do you stay and talk — or run?
Can you build a home
with a woman who still belongs to herself?
I need someone who isn’t afraid of the size of my world,
who never needs me smaller just to feel enough,
who loves me deeply, respects the woman I am,
who holds me when I’m vulnerable
and is proud when I am strong.
Who gives me room to wander
and still feels like home,
someone who wants the everyday,
the morning and the night,
who wants to build a real home,
a real life by my side.
Can you love the woman who walks into the world
and knows exactly who she is?
Can you be the place where she comes home,
takes off her armour
and lets herself be held?
Can you give as deeply as I give,
care for me as I care for you?
Can we be lovers, partners, best friends,
and still be free?
I know what loyalty feels like.
I know what respect requires.
I know that love can speak the truth
and stay for the conversation.
I know that trust can give us freedom,
that tenderness can make us strong.
I want a love that already knows these things.
I don’t want to teach someone
how to love me anymore.
Are you ready to go there?
To choose with courage,
to love with clarity,
to turn feelings into something real?
Will you choose me with your heart
and choose me for your life?
I want Sunday mornings,
tea, books and nowhere else to be.
I want flowers for no reason,
kisses in the kitchen,
laughter until we cannot breathe.
I want separate dreams
that still know how to meet,
my journeys and your journeys
always finding their way home.
And sometimes—
Pack a bag, we’re going to Milan.
Your blush is gone.
That’s reason enough.
I want passports on the table,
dinners that become adventures,
theatre nights and last-minute flights,
desire that survives the ordinary,
a home filled with tenderness,
and a life that still feels wide.
I need someone who isn’t afraid of the size of my world,
who never needs me smaller just to feel enough,
who loves me deeply, respects the woman I am,
who holds me when I’m vulnerable
and is proud when I am strong.
Who gives me room to wander
and still feels like home,
someone who wants the everyday,
the morning and the night,
who wants to build a real home,
a real life by my side.
Will you choose me with your heart
and choose me for your life?
With Love,
Miriam
