MEMO TO MEN: Read. Remember. Repeat.

I came across this lovely poem, boys, and thought it might inspire you to a new level of greatness. I know you can be better than you appear sometimes. Right?

P.S. The last line is my particular favorite. I’ll be waiting for you to kiss me in the rain…

“Tell her how you admire her.
Always tell her you love her, at all times.
When shes upset, hold her tight.
Pick her over all the other girls you hang out with.
Play with her hair, pick her up,
tickle her, and wrestle with her.
Just talk to her. Tell her jokes.
Bring her flowers, just because.
Hold her hand & run, just hold her hand.
Throw pebbles at her window at night.
Let her fall asleep in your arms.
Sing to her no matter how awful you sound.
Get her mad at you, then kiss her.
Give her piggy back rides.
Push her on swings.
Tell her she looks beautiful.
When she’s sad, stay on the phone with her,
even if she’s not saying anything.
Look into her eyes and smile.
Kiss her on her forehead.
Slow dance with her even if theres no music.
Kiss her in the rain.”
