Not fireworks. Not the kind of love that makes you forget to eat. I've seen that kind. It burns hot and then it's ash. 🔥

What I'm talking about is different. It's a man who says "I'll be back at six" and is home at six. Who tells you something matters and then shows up for it every single day, not just when he's in the mood, not just when it's easy. ⛪

Where I come from, we measure a man by his word the way city people measure him by his money. Both are tests. Both show what he values. Both reveal if he's honest.

A man who keeps his word doesn't need to say he loves you constantly. He shows it by doing what he promised. Over and over. That's the poetry I understand. That's the romance. 🕊️

It's boring to people who want butterflies. But I'll take boring and reliable over thrilling and gone. 💚
