To Whom It May Concern

She likes Red Bull
Specifically the peach kind
Remember that because any time she is having a bad day surprising her with one will Make it better
She likes sushi and loves steak
But don't you dare make fun of how she likes it cooked
It will not make sense to you
But she likes it and that's what matters
She likes flowers but struggles keeping them alive
She gets from her mother
Buy them for her anyways
She loves her family and tells her mom everything
That's not a bad thing
Treat her right and her mother will protect you as one of her own
And you definitely want that woman on your side

If she wants time to herself let her have it
If she wants to sit on her bed and watch crime shows for hours by herself let her
She needs it
I promise it's not because she doesn't want to be with you
If she wants to cuddle up on the couch and binge watch a girly tv show with you do it
Give those shows a chance
I promise they're not as bad as you think
You may even find yourself watching a couple episodes of one of those shows on your own when you miss her
I know I did
If she wants to watch Gladiator while playing chess
Do your best to pay attention to both
And don't get too frustrated when she beats you every single time

She is fun and energetic and goofy and mature all at the same time
She will talk your ear off if you let her
And you should let her
Some people find that talkativeness annoying but you will love it
The way she weaves a story is like a tapestry even if not everyone understands the Threading
Follow her down every last rabbit hole
Take her hand while she takes you around the globe simply to cross the street
Enjoy the journey
Being able to accompany her on that trip is a privilege in and of itself

She laughs when she stutters or says the wrong thing
As strange as it may sound
You will begin to hope she misspeaks so that you can hear her laugh again
Her smile radiates betterment and life and makes whatever room she is in brighter even If all of the lights are already on

She makes her feelings obvious with facial expressions
Whether she is excited or stunned or happy or embarrassed or confident or sad
It is apparent in the creases in the corners of her eyes or in her smile or in her frown or In the lack thereof
She says she is trying to better control her expressions
But you will start to hope that she doesn't
She wears her heart on her sleeve and it is beautiful
She gave it to you
Protect it

Her baggage is heavy but she is unloading it little by little
Her insecurity restrains her but she is growing more and more confident every day
She is guarded but those walls will come down with time
And behind them she is one of the most caring and genuine and kind people you will Ever meet
She is stunning when she does not think so
She is amazing when she does not know who she is
She is confidence and purpose even when she feels like she has not known those things In a long time
She deserves herself at her best even if no one else does
The world would stop on its axis if it realized the full breadth of who she is and who she Can be
Help her to know that

Be her rock
Be her partner
Be her companion
Keep her smiling
The world needs that
Keep her laughing
You'll need that

Take care of her
Please
Just
Take care of her
