You don’t love her by saying, “I love you.”
The above statement didn’t felt true until I actually thought about
it or felt it in his eyes.
“HE” never said he loves me until I forced him but the rest
followed!!
He made me feel every inch of love…
You love her in your touch; you love her by being there for her.
You love her by wiping her tears away as her walls come down that she spent
years crafting.
You love her in the small bits, like when you hold her hand
when it’s damp, because she gets nervous when she gets vulnerable.
You love all her imperfections, you love her in all her wrongness -
because it’s in those moments when she lets down her shield, and you hold her tighter,
that you understand what it means to truly love someone, to be responsible for
someone.
When you commit to her - you don’t just say the words.
You understand her value - because when you’re together you feel
it. You feel her love, her beauty; how her genuineness can’t be replaced.
When you’re with—when you commit to her—you don’t have one eye
wandering at the options. Because you understand that those options are
bullshit - it’s all an illusion, it’s just your ego saying, “I want the
intangible more,” and your fears saying, “I’m not ready to be so happy, to be
vulnerable.”
But in your heart you know you don’t really have another option.
She is the one who is in your heart, and you’re smart enough to
know that none of those “options” will truly satisfy you, make you feel
inspired, alive or understood.
You don’t feel like you a choice in the matter, because quite
frankly, she is your dream girl, the one who tears down your walls; the one you
hesitantly show that part of you that is dark, vulnerable, and she still loves
you. She is the one you let in, because you know she is worth the risk. And you
won’t risk losing her because of your pride, fears, ego or selfish ways.
Love isn’t perfect.
Love is cupping her face gently when you kiss her; listening when she
speaks about her dad , her past, her fears… whispering words of reassurance in
her ear, because you know she isn’t broken, just bent.
Love isn’t shiny and perfect. Love is raw. Love is the 3am fights
between people who give a shit, the reddened eyes full of emotion, the intense
conversations that make you feel understood, that challenge you, push you to
think and be better.
Love is frustrating the shit out of each other and then stopping to
gaze at them because you think, this is the problem I want to have.
Love is making an effort for it when you have found it.
You’re not worried about the future, because you understand that
"more" is an illusion.
You want to build this love. You’re not
worried about settling, because you know that dating her is not the end of your
liberty - it’s the beginning of it.
Love is not filtered. Love is living the fuck out of your life with
someone.
Love doesn’t get discarded for the next hit. Loving someone means
making an effort for them; taking them on a crazy adventure, giving them your
time, your understanding and the complete YOU
.Loving someone means remaining faithful when things aren’t working
in that moment, when you fall on hard times, when you struggle, when there’s
doubt.
Truly loving her means putting her first; inspiring her to reach
for more, taking the risk to not put one foot out the door, loving her so much
that you won't betray her, because you won't let your demons ruin this - this
raw, perfectly imperfect love.
I have never been this clear with the thoughts until I met him. The
moments with him have made me think towards the concept of love and evenly
though he is uncertain of the love he holds for me, I have promised him not to
ever force him or ask him if he once also says that I am over you!!
That’s my Love for him!!!
