You won’t be her first love. But maybe, if you’re lucky, you can be her last.
She has already felt the highs and lows that love has to offer. She has experienced every shade of every emotion that life could throw at her.

She is a challenge—a work-in-progress of sorts. But if you are willing to step up to the plate and love her right, the girl with the complicated past could be the best thing that ever happened to you. Here’s why:

She isn’t going to be the woman that up and leaves you for someone else, because once she knows what she wants and finds it, she isn’t going to let it go.

She will be gentle with your heart, because she knows what it feels like to have her heart’s well-being completely disregarded.

When she finds a man who appreciates her, she will love him with every ounce of her being. She knows what it feels like to be with someone who doesn’t appreciate her, so when she comes across a man who does she won’t let him go. She’ll appreciate him even more, because she has spent time with the wrong men.

She knows what she deserves.

She refuses to be your doormat or your emotional dumping ground; she will challenge you. She will make you a better partner—and a stronger man.

She will never need you—she is strong and self-sufficient—but, she will want you.

Her love is the life-long kind.
When she finds what she is looking for, it’s game over. She isn’t looking to play immature games with your heart. She is looking for something real, something that she can honor and cherish.
When she finds it, she holds on.

She will challenge you. She will frustrate you. She will make you earn her trust, and won’t give away any pieces of herself for free. She will be guarded, but once you break through her walls you will see all that she is. Like at the end of a difficult hike, once you arrive at the destination you will be able to stand back and admire the beauty around you.

Her past heartbreaks have built her into the beautifully strong woman now standing in front of you.
