These are the lengths someone is willing to go for you.

This is exactly how you deserve to be loved and to never tolerate anything less.

But knowing itll never be him who does that.

As a father, his heart breaks watching this young woman hurt because of someone else.

Wishes and praying she saw herself through his eyes.

Because then shed see herself as truly the most beautiful girl there is.

Fathers teach daughters about self-respect.

What love really means and that its not pain or someone talking down to you.

From pulling out her chair to opening her door to never paying in his presence.

Respecting her thoughts and her opinions and her goals and ambitions.

Believing in her more than anyone else even if hes the only one to do so.

Giving him her time and attention if hes busy, she comes first.

Loving her every single day of her life and reminding her thats what she deserves.

Pushing her to learn and grow and become the best version of herself.

And in return, she adores him more than any man she will ever meet.

How a father treats her becomes the standard for what she expects of others.

Bits and pieces of someone who reminds her of her father is who shell fall for.

But you know how rare it is.

You expect someones best.

And you learn to walk away when someone doesnt give that to you.

Someone shes proud to introduce to him.

Someone who can live in his shadow.

Someone, he can give her away to and know shell be okay.
