and her body looks like a battlefield.

Date a girl who writes because she will be able to recall in detail everything you say. Because she understands the complexities of people, and knows you are more than your successes, failures, winnings, or losses. All the depths of you become her big adventure. Because sometimes a little silence is welcome. Because she understands the value of word choice, and will mean everything she says to you. Because she can take criticism and turn it into wit, disappointment into accomplishment, and sadness into laughter with the wave of her pen. And finally, you must date a girl who writes because it is she who will allow you to live forever. With just her pen, she will make sure that you never grow old nor die nor fade. A character in one of her stories, you will be given the gift of immortality.
