When He Protects and Respects You

When you rest your head on his shoulder and in a moment feel the weight of his head on yours, when he gently and carefully brushes stray strands of hair away from your face, smiles, and kisses your forehead. When he holds your hand while crossing the street and stands like a wall in front of you if there's a big dog ahead. When he's angry but still covers you with a blanket so you don't get cold, and lies next to you even if it's uncomfortable, but won't wake you. When he understands and accepts your choices, even if they go against his principles and norms, and subtly, only through personal example, makes you and your lifestyle better.
