I saw , MAN

I saw men doing anything for the woman they were interested in.

I have seen men take trains, planes, buses, sleep in stations, on the ground, on the street, in an uncomfortable seat of any means of transport, just to spend two hours with the woman they were in love with.

I have seen men not let themselves be frightened in front of a no invitation to dinner, in the face of distrust, in the face of a quarrel, because they were very clear that fear must be reassured, the no can be changed, a quarrel overcome.

I’ve seen men postpone commitments, grind kilometres, commit to organise surprises, change priorities, do the impossible for a girl.

I’ve seen men forget their ex in 5 minutes for a newly met woman, I’ve seen men who suddenly no longer had the terror of ties, I’ve seen men engage in building a stable relationship. And I’ve seen it happen in record time, because when you really like each other, your excuses are forgotten and you really live.

And all the others.

Everyone else doesn’t care, let’s get over it.
