When you fall in love with a keeper, remind her of your love everyday through your words, your actions. Remind her of how beautiful she is.
When you fall in love with a keeper, let your intentions be known to her.
When you fall in love with a keeper, don’t make an effort to tame her wild, rather fire it up even more.
When you fall in love with a keeper, let her happiness be your biggest priority.
When you fall in love with a keeper, don’t struggle to change her. Don’t wish she were different in certain ways. When you fall in love with a keeper, love her just the way she is.
When you fall in love with a keeper, let your love set her heart on fire. Let your love for her be true and unfiltered. Love her in ways she’s never been loved.
When you fall in love with a keeper, don’t judge her. She’s only human and is bound to make mistakes.
When you fall in love with a keeper, don’t lie to her. Don’t promise her heaven and earth only to give her way less than her heart deserves. Don’t lie to her because it will break her heart. Be truthful to her and she will honor you.
When you fall in love with a keeper, be an open book to her. Open up unto her, show her your world and no matter how broken and shaken it is, she will embrace it and will heal it with the warmth of her heart. Show her your world and she will show you hers.
When you fall in love with a keeper, champion to love her flaws. Always champion to have her look at herself differently.
When you fall in love with a keeper, don’t make her wish she could make it easy for you to love her. No matter how difficult she will get, take your time and learn her.
When you fall in love with a keeper, never give up on her. Never quit her. Love her when she’s broken. Love her when she is herself.
When you fall in love with a keeper, kiss, hold her like it was your first. When you fall in love with a keeper, always let her know how special she is. Always make her feel special.
When you fall in love with a keeper, listen. Listen to the still voices in her heart. Listen for the words never said. Listen to her heart.
When you fall in love with a keeper, love her today like you won’t be able to do so tomorrow.
When you fall in love with a keeper, don’t break her heart. Don’t leave.
