I want someone who can and will love me for the person I am. Faults, failures, and all. To hold me when I am sad, that I can hold and comfort when he/she is sad. Someone who more than tells me he loves me, but shows me. By kindness and tenderness and understanding. Who understands that at times I want to be held, while at other times I do not want to be touched (need my space time.) Who understands that I need to have my independence. Who won't tell me he loves me because of my compassionate nature, then turn around and use me wanting to help unfortunate animals, against me as a reason to walk out.
