strong-laugh out loud-dance like they mean it-have stories to tell-secrets to keep-take no shit from nobody-kinda people. the kind of man who, when running away from home, would think to pack 2 dinosaurs, a fishing pole, and clean underpants. the kind of woman who drinks wine and talks the night away with me on rooftop. the kind of soulmate i can call sex-pants way too early on in our relationship, and she responds by claiming it as her new nickname.
