I had to think to myself, really hard, what it is that makes me attracted to my man. When I couldn't come up with several top-of-my-head, impromptu responses, I started to get worried, is there something wrong with my man? Why is it that I couldn't think of his traits that make me melt? All I could think of was the times we always argued, the times we disagreed over the smallest matter, the times we had cold wars, when he's always late and most of all, always forgetful. I started questioning myself, why did I like him in the first place? Why did I stick with him for two full years? Then it started to hit me...
What I like about him is him. Despite his forgetfulness, his defensive arguments, his addiction to his PSP to the point of neglecting me, there are just certain minute acts that when he does them, it makes them all the more meaningful, all the more valuable, and his weaknesses become a blur tiny spot.
When we walk along the road side, he always makes sure that he's walking at the side nearest to the road. In case anything happens, such as snatch theft, or reckless drivers, he would provide a barrier of protection towards me. He never says this to me, but I know that's what he thinks, and I find him irresistible for that.
When I have painful period pains, a man who brings me a warm towel to ease my stomach cramps, who massages me, and who makes sure I go to sleep, makes me feel like I'm the luckiest princess in the world.
I love how he behaves like a macho man in front of his friends and how he doesn't feel comfortable being mushy with me on the phone with his friends around, but behaves just like a kid when there are only two of us in the room. How he makes me feel like I'm the only one who matters in his heart, the only one who can truly put a smile to his face, the only one he can show his true personality to.
Something happened the other day which made me fall head over heels deeper in love with my man. I had a long day at work, and was exhausted after dinner and shower. As I was watching TV comfortably, my eyelids started to become really heavy and I couldn't stop myself from falling asleep. He kept reminding me that I still had not brushed my teeth, but I was too tired to make a move. In the end, he took the electronic toothbrush, applied toothpaste and opened my mouth to help me brush my teeth in my sleep! Of course, that act touched me tremendously and I couldn't help but wake up and continue brushing my teeth myself.
I say that's my man...
