He Tells Me / The Man He Is

He tells me to not worry about the matrimony. He tells me to not worry my silly head off about the shelter over our roof.
He tells me that it is okay, he does this thing where he holds me and tells me to simply focus on school.

He tells me all of these while he works smartly on several jobs and furthers his education. He reminds me that an education is important. That he won't simply stop at getting a masters because at the very end of the day, he's working towards the comfort of the future. I tell him most times that I'm not sure if I've got what it takes to be a psychologist, or If I might truly end up liking my job (whether it's  being a psychologist or having a desk bound job). His patience is always amounting, he tells me to not worry to keep my head down, work lesser hours if need be and to do the best I could. Something will work out, somehow or another. I believe him.

I love the way he views me as his equal, even though it's pretty evident that I'm alot better in the humanity and serving justice category while he is amazing at business, finding ways to be better than he is yesterday, being the brain-child of really great business ideas.  I tell him that patience is key for ideas to blossom,  I express my opinions about ideas he speaks about with me and he listens genuinely, absorbing what I'm speaking about. We educate each other accordingly, he never sees me as a competitor and is always so humble and down to earth in listening to me rattle on about psychological facts I've learnt in school. His genuine interest and respect for the woman I am is pretty damn amazing. He has this natural tendency to see to strength of people around him, and always work towards amplifying them. So it isn't just with me, but even with his family members. I get awed, all the time. I tell him all the time that he has signs of being a great leader, a man that can run huge matters while maintaining composite and being rational. He knows, he knows it by heart for I express his great characteristics more than once a week. I believe in emphasising, in repeatedly telling him. Because if there's anything I've learnt, it's that the world is cruel and very little would speak to you about the great characteristics you've got due to inferiority or simply because they cannot bear that someone is greater than they are.

At the end of everyday, even with an intellectual intelligence that he possesses, he treats me like as if Im a rare gem. He carries all my physical load even despite me telling him that I can handle it. He still, gets exited with date nights even after all these years. He spoils me with such affection and care that he now laughs when I start being  pampered and throwing lil tantrums here and there when I don't get things my way.

He tells me he'll take care of it, the matrimony, the roof over our head. I tell him it's okay because I'll have a sum to contribute to the roof by then. Still, his heart takes over and he emphasises on me focusing in school. I laugh, I tell him that 5 years from now for the union to take place is still long. That we've got time. That I should be helping too and I will. He stops speaking and simply smiles. This is a sign where his brain is churning up more information, I've watched him long enough to know. All he says is, don't worry baby, I've got it. Things will be great for us

What an incredible soul, a man of self control, grit, discipline, intellectualism, patience, focus, heart and love. I can only hope that our girl marries a man just like him and our son to be a replica of he is. Though of course, he'll train our boy to be even greater than he is.
