She’s the girl of many faces from many places. That girl with a gleam of everlasting curiosity in her eye. And an unsurmountable amount of imperfections that you will find perfect together.

 

Don’t date her for she will wrap you in stories and dreams. Over Skype or long distance calls she will keep you up late at night with tales of her adventures. You will continue into the next day trying to sneak in a nap while she races to catch a train to her next destination. You may get jealous. You may resent her not being there. You may miss some phone calls. You may have meetings and be too tired to talk when she wants to. When she is home, she’ll be planning her next trip while you’re trying to get her attention. You will be nervous because you never know where she is in this world. She will not be easy to please as long as she’s stationary. You will fight about priorities. She always needs to be growing and making movements. She will care about you but will care about learning more.

 

So don’t date her. Fall in love with her so that you may share each others dreams. And when you can’t be in the same geographic area, wake up checking her latest trip photos and counting the minutes until you get to talk with her and share your own adventures. You may miss a phone call while out on your own adventure, that’s okay. You’ll write intimate hand written letters and emails to each other telling of everything you haven’t even imagined yet. You won’t be nervous when you don’t know where she is because you know where her heart is every time yours beats. When you are in the same location, wake up in your wildest dreams with her in your arms. Kiss the sun and learn what hot really is in every part of the world together. You will always learn at each others side. You won’t need her constant attention as long as she holds your hand and heart contently because you will both be experiencing life and love together. And when you’re in a hostel or tent at the end of the night you will share your thoughts and inspire greatness in each other. You will grow a bond that is larger than than the oceans you’ve crossed and the skies you’ve slept under together.

 

Fall in love with her, because she will kiss you with the same lips she kisses the ground that she calls home. If you’re lucky, she will call you home.
