Him

by Pierre Alex Jeanty

He, however, is a man who is hunting for something different, a man searching for the love in your soul, the softness in your smile, the courage in your voice, the freedom in your laugh, the calm of your touch.

Pace doesn’t reveal the heart, only character.

He does not see you as his conquest. To him, you are not land to colonize and leave in poor condition to forever be a slave to his touch, under the occupation of his lies. There are no oppressive tactics hidden in his words. He is here to honor your roots, find beauty in your culture and become loyal to the queen in you. “There are kings in the deck.”

Perhaps you are not his secret, but his protected treasure. Perhaps he isn’t at fault; instead it is your trust issues and insecurities stirring up trouble, clouding your mind with the belief that social media validation is what will prove that he isn’t hiding you. There are some who crave a private life in an overexposed generation. There are people who are silent about their business so they don’t have to master the art of drowning out unnecessary noise.

is only healthy communication that keeps love stories on the same page.

You cannot keep putting words into the mouth of his silence and grow angry when you feel that you’ve wasted too much time on him, drunk on assumptions. He may not yet be good at communicating, but he is great at answering questions. When he says he is fine, keep yourself from treating it as if it’s your version of “I’m fine.” “Believe him.”

‘The End’ sometimes means there are more pages in another volume.

I am a good man despite how influential the bad men are. Good men are not those who carry that title for a trophy of acceptance, they are those with good hearts and loving souls who are chasing the righteous life. I may not have always been a good man, but my past and I aren’t friends.

let your existence be his comfort, your patience be his support, and your presence his escape from the noise. “Just be there for him.”
