I only really want the kind of love that allows itself to have a few weaknesses and insecurities every once in a while.
I only want the kind of love that is built to last forever. I’m not really interested in being in love with someone who lives for singular moments. I’m not interested in being in a relationship that is defined by single spectacular instances. I want the kind of love that is built on the grind of each and every day. I want everything that comes with the love that finds importance in all days of the year; a love that exhibits both the mundane and the exciting. I want the kind of love that is built on highs and lows. I want the kind of love that is in it for the long haul. I want a rollercoaster kind of love that has its fair share of twists and turns, of loops and bursts. I only want to be in the kind of love that is composed of scenic routes through country sides and big cities.
I only want the kind of love that is perpetually caught in a state of continuum. This is the kind of love that understands that life isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon and pacing is very important. I only want the kind of love that understands that you can’t always be going full speed ahead because that is not a sustainable way of going about a relationship. I want the kind of love that is able to persevere through thunderstorms and snow days. The kind of love that is able to power through deep rivers and climb the highest mountains. I want to be in the kind of love that gets lost sometimes but always manages to find itself back on the right path.
I only want the kind of love that espouses a sense of optimism and belief in the good things in life. I want to be in the kind of love that is built on unshakeable trust in one another. I want to be in love with a person who is always going to believe that everything is going to be okay so as long as we’re together; the kind of person who believes that no matter how dark the night may get, we may always find the light in each other. I want the kind of love with someone who is able to guide me back to my safe place whenever I go astray. I want to be in the kind of love with someone who shares a palpable emotional connection with me; the kind of connection that could never be broken or tampered with. I want the kind of love with someone who I can rely on for anything; a person I can turn to when I’m not feeling myself.
I only want the kind of love that actually knows the value of endurance. I want the kind of love that is able to withstand the severe tests of time and space. I want the kind of love that gets stronger after overcoming every challenge that gets thrown its way. I want to be in the kind of love that knows how to maneuver itself through the difficult streets of life without getting too far off course. I’m interested in love that operates like a well-oiled machine, but still maintains the emotional value of an innocent little child. I want the kind of love that others look at and sigh for. I want the kind of love that is mechanical, but also personal. More of personal.
I only really want the kind of love that allows itself to have a few weaknesses and insecurities every once in a while. I want the kind of love that is honest with itself; that allows itself to be vulnerable every so often. I want the kind of love that acknowledges its own imperfections; the kind of love that decides to learn and grow from its dire mistakes. I want the kind of love that isn’t fearless; the kind of love that would never grow complacent or careless. I want the kind of love that has the confidence of a lion and the wits of a wolf. I want the kind of love that is able to endure many days of sunshine and rain. I want the kind of love that allows for closer ties to be formed; that tests the limits and boundaries of intimacy and affection. I want the kind of love that encourages closeness and comfort in one another. I want the kind of love that is able to heal pain and disappointment. I want the kind of love that is able to console brokenness.
But most importantly, I only want the kind of love that doesn’t intimidate. I want the kind of love that is receptive and welcoming. I want the kind of love that makes me feel like I’m home every single day of my life.
