She’s not the one to chase if you’re still running from yourself
if your soul is a question mark
if your dreams are still waiting in line for you to claim them
if you’re still figuring out relationship goals, lost
in a maze of exploration

She’s for when you’re ready—
ready to rise
ready to strive
ready to build something real
ready to love not just pass time

Now—

She’s not the one to curse you out
but don’t mistake her class for naïveté
her elegance for submission
her silence for permission
her loyalty for weakness

She speaks in measured tones
but don’t get it twisted—
she will not be subjugated
not by what masks as love
not by fear
not by the weight of someone else’s uncertainty

She’s walked through too many storms
to be swayed by a drizzle
she’s built too much of herself
to shrink into someone else’s confusion

If you’re still figuring out who you are
still tracing the outline of a future you can’t commit to?
she’s not the one
keep walking—
but don’t look for her in the shadow
of your uncertainty
your searching
your wandering

She’s not the one
to wait for maybe

She’s the one
for when you are ready
