A Modern Woman

I am a modern woman, a strong woman.

I pay my own way, I handle my own problems.

But I am still a woman.

I want to be pursued.

I want to be courted.

 

I need to take care of my family and dote on the ones that I love.

But I still want to be desired.

I want to be wanted.

 

I long to be held gently as I fall asleep and loved desperately as I awake.

The emotions that you read in my face at any given moment are only a fraction of what I feel inside my heart.

Pain. Happiness. Desire. Sadness.

 

I will always have moments of perfect clarity and moments of hormonal chaos.

I will need you to pretend like you always understand.

 

I am a woman,

And I am waiting for you.
