Are you out there?


Are you out there?
The one who makes my heart sing…
Who makes my pulse quicken, my body warm, my knees weak?
A man who isn’t looking for just a pretty face, and thin body and a hot date.
The kind of date that ends after one night.
Who wants someone with intellect, a thirst for knowledge, and a kind heart.

Are you out there?
The one who loves the outdoors…
Who exercises and takes care of himself,
Who loves hiking & camping & kayaking.
Who loves New England winter, spring & fall.

Are you out there?
The one who knows what is happening to the earth…
Who reuses and recycles, gardens & raises chickens,
And who dislikes anything with motors as much as I do –
Motorcycles, motor boats, snowmobiles, ATVs, airplanes, and cars.
One who loves to travel, but will stay local to be kind to the earth.

Are you out there?
The one who likes me for who I am…
Who admires my out-of-the-box thinking and my volunteerism.
Who accepts my moodiness and occasionally outburst.
Who doesn’t find fault in my house that needs some work
And who is ok that I might need him as much as I want him.

Are you out there?
I’m here, waiting, looking, wanting and needing you.
I’m here, with enough passion to make your knees go weak,
And to make your heart sing.
I’m here, with honesty and compassion,
Ready to dance with you off into the sunset.
