You have put yourself out there before and dared to love. You've known what unrequited love feels like. One too many times, you've had your heart broken by someone who said they loved you. It's all left a bitter taste in your mouth, and you convince yourself that love just isn't for you after all.

Then she comes along and shows you what love really means. When you stop looking, she finds you and opens you up to a whole new world.

This girl will piece your heart back together and make you smile again. She will not judge you for the person you were before her, and will patiently listen to your story. She will love away the scars from your past relationship, and bring back the smile to your face.

She will teach you how to love yourself

Hers is the purest kind of love that sees past your many flaws. She will encourage you to accept yourself and love yourself for who you are, by accepting and loving you for you. She will tell you that, while you need to improve yourself constantly, you shouldn't spend every waking moment chasing perfection.

This girl will become your true friend and confidant

She's genuinely interested in your life and will provide a willing ear every time you need to talk. She will want to know all there is about you, and she will guard your secrets with her life. You will never have any hesitation about opening up to her.

She will say she loves you without even having to say it

You won't ever have to second-guess yourself with this girl. She will not run out of ways to tell you she loves you. And when she is not saying it, she will be showing you just how much she loves you. She will take care of you, she will leave you sweet little notes, she will make sacrifices for you, she will plan intimate dates for you both and whatever else you can think of. She's not afraid to let everyone, most especially you, know how she feels about you.

She will love you for you

This girl won't try to make it her mission to change you. You don't have to put up a farce with her, because she is content with who you are as a person.

She will push you to become a better person

Better, not different. Yes, she will embrace and love you despite your flaws, but she will not allow you to get too comfortable with just that. She will push you to do better and become better. Her love and support will always be enough to inspire you to become the best person you can be and do your best.

She will always stick by your side

In her you will find your true ride-or-die. Even when things are at their worst and your life seems like a complete mess, she will ride out the storm with you because she truly loves you. Through the good and the bad, she'll always be there.

She will not try to take advantage of you

This girl will not stay in our life out of selfish reasons. It will never be about what you can do for her. She has her own and taking advantage of a man is simply beneath her.

A girl who genuinely and unconditionally loves you will make you see why it didn't work with anyone else. She will make you wonder where she's been all your life. With her, you'll experience what every person should be able to experience at least once in their lifetime, and that is true love.
