Writers

Date a guy who writes. Yes, he may be regularly lost and sullen, moody even, but he’ll know better than anyone else how words affect you. When you’re angry he will show you the funny in your words and when you’re sad he will show you how words heal. Commas will no more be punctuation but the pause you can see him take before he tells you how beautiful you look tonight. The future in his words will be a well painted picture, one in which you can imagine the two of you sitting and drinking coffee by the French windows and the low hum of music in the background. Seduction will be intellectual and he’ll show you just how easy it is to know what he thinks because he’ll tell you. He’ll tell you how he feels when you’re around and when you’re not. Just how splendid holding hands with you feels and how your smile lights up his world. And when things go south, he’ll use words guaranteed to cause you pain and break your heart worse than others. The beauty of things ending with writers is that you get over it so damn fast. Because you may forgive and forget a lot of things but you’ll never (or at least should never) go back to someone who knows just exactly how to make you feel vulnerable and then break you.
