You cannot knock out a woman off a pedestral she built herself

 All the guys come around thinking that they have to put me on a pedestal..

Wine and dine me, impress me with fancy dinners and show me the grandest of times.

They don’t get it at all.

They can’t put me on a pedestal and they can’t buy me the world…

I don’t need it and I don’t want it.

I’ve already done all that myself.

I’ve seen all the games and done the fancy adventure with all the gusto, glitz and glamor one could ever want..

But that’s not what fills my soul and sparks my heart.

Love isn’t about what you can buy me, show me or impress me with..

Those things have never mattered to me.

Show me your heart.

Impress me with your depth.

Buy me a one way ticket to forever.

You can’t put me on a pedestal because I built my own..

So if you’re going to say that I’m a stuck up snob and that I’m high maintenance…

Guess again.

Yes, I have standards.

Yes, I don’t settle for less than I deserve.

And I’ll damned sure never tolerate disrespect, dishonesty or disingenuous behavior.

So you wanna win my heart?

Stop worrying about all the things that all the others made you think were important..

And just be real, passionate and deep.

Talk to me, not at me.

Stop trying to dazzle me or buy my affection and just show me who you really are.

Cry, laugh and walk with me.

Show me the depths of your soul and the fire in your heart.

Cause I promise you one thing:

I’ve worked too hard to get where I am and built this pedestal just how I want it..

And I’m not coming down for just anyone.

Earn it.

You’ll be glad you did.
