My man would be a strong person. his anger would shake the mountains and the warmth of his love would melt the glaciers. He would get up every time he falls. He would live by his words!! he would burn like a candle to lighten up everyone's life. he would wrap his arm around me whenever I cry.
ah!! so would be the man of my dreams...
the books and the movies have made us believe in this hypothetical creature and we all fantasize about him.
In the real world, a common man becomes "my man" and keeps fighting whole life to put up with this hypothetical creature!!!
this common man cries when he gets hurt, he knows to suppress his anger to keep his family safe. he loves but doesn't show it everytime so that his love does not become his weakness..
he succeeds, he fails, he remembers birthday, he might forget anniversary, he works throughout the day, gets tired and then falls asleep in your arms in night..
he promises you to get the moon and stars but at the end of the day he might just be back with the sweat of a hectic day on his forehead..
remember that this man needs you, your love, your support to be your man!!!
