Transcript

If he disagrees with you in public, he's a boy. But if he either agrees or just stays quiet, he's a man. If he puts you down in public, he's a boy. But if he lifts you up and makes you look and feel like the best version of yourself, He's a man. If he insults you as a way of flirting, he's a boy. But if he's always sweet and kind, he's a man. If he loves you conditionally and pulls back his love when things don't go his way. He's a boy. But if he shows you love and respect, no matter the disagreement, he's a man. If he complains about anything, he's a boy. But if he accepts things for what they are or fixes his problems calmly and with discretion, he's a man. If he brings up the past, he's a boy. But if he discusses the future, he's a man. If he judges your friends, he's a boy. But if he loves anyone that you love, he's a man. And if he overcommits and underdelivers, he's a boy. But if he undercommits and overdelivers far beyond your expectations or desires, oh, he is absolument, a man.
