In a sea of guys


You are one girl in a class of 24 guys, do you know how that makes me feel?

 

Because it feels pretty scary, I don’t want to think about it every day, but

I do. I know you say you

Love me, and I love you too, but know this will be hard for me and maybe

You too.

 

Because what boyfriend in their right mind, wouldn’t worry….. But you say, if

I am confident and I trust you,

Love will be hold us together,

You and I will get through this because love is how we define it.

 

Because I will tell you how I feel always, and

I never want you to be scared to tell me how you feel too.  

Love is kind, it does not envy nor does it boast

You have taught me to be patient and that is love.

 

You are a beautiful woman, in a classroom of 24 males, all who will see the love you have for me in your eyes even when I’m thousands of miles away.

 

Because this love we share, trusts in each other,

I have neither desire nor energy to get jealous; this is because I trust you with.

Love is about communication,

You have said you will prove that to me, and I trust you.

 

Because your dreams have become mine too,

I see what you see, and I understand your desire to reach your goals

Love for us, has been centered around the ocean

You are beautiful

You are thoughtful

You are strong

You are unique

 

You are mine, yet you belong to so much more in this world. You belong to yourself, to your dreams, to your family and friends, to your goals, to your dreams. You are mine, yet you are also your own.

 

Because I love you, you are a student sitting in a class, motivated and determined to reach your goals and I will support you through this,

 

Because I love you…..

<p>This poem was written because as I am attending a school, where the female percentage in my major is less than I can even imagine (&lt;20%), My boyfriend continutes to work with me, and himself, and love me for who I am and what I am doing.&nbsp;</p>
