She might seem simple, but she is one of the most complex girls I have ever met. She’s strong, but that doesn’t mean she should face the world alone. Everyone needs a hand to hold in order to face their fears, and you should never let her go through anything alone. Be there for her even when she swears she’s okay. When she smiles for a second and then it goes away quickly, hold her. 

 

Reaching out for help is not her strong suit. Don’t expect her to always be okay just because she doesn’t ask for help. You must pay attention to her, get to know her different tones of voice and the way she texts based off her mood. She’s going to let her guard down and trust you eventually; do not betray that trust. 

 

Don’t try to change her, she will change on her own. Her mind is like a flower, still blooming and blossoming, and she can water herself. Do not expect her to remain the same person you fell in love with. Instead, find more concrete parts of her that you love. She will never stop surprising you when it comes to her capabilities. You need to realize who you are with before it’s too late. She is an absolute queen who deserves to be treated like one; never treat her less than royalty. Don’t make her feel like the only part of her you love is her body. Love her for her mind and the way she thinks, the way she walks, the way she talks, and her passion for the world.  Her looks are just a bonus that you don’t have a say in. 

 

She loves breakfast and dessert — her two favorite things (date ideas!) Don’t expect an adventure every single day, she’s going to want a few nights (most nights) where you stay in and watch Netflix. As long as she’s beside you, she’ll be happy. 

 

She deserves the world and if you’re not ready or willing to give her a part of yours then you don’t deserve her. If you don’t put a smile on her face or make her laugh as much as you possibly can, then you don’t deserve her. She’s going to make you into a better person if you let her, not to change you but to help you grow. Most importantly, love her with all your heart. Care for her. Spoil her in your love and affection. Don’t buy her flowers all the time because she’s not that great at taking care of them. 

 

It’s the little things that matter most to her. Hold the door open for her and hold her in your arms. Spoon her when she turns away from you in the middle of the night. Make sure the blankets are on her. Make sure she drinks enough water. Just look out for her, but know that she doesn’t need you to make decisions for her, she is her own person. Keep her safe and keep her well-being in your mind. Always respect her. She is a diamond, there is nobody like her.
