A different kind of love.

I don't want what our culture deems as "love." Their love is contractual. It has terms. It's about your own happiness. It's about your own benefit & fun. If you can't control the person, if they don't make you happy, if it doesn't "feel right"...then you leave them. When did love become all about "me?"

I want a love that people only hear about in stories. A love that's stronger than death, stronger than trials, and stronger than success. I want a love that I can feel down to my bones, so that even when I can't feel it, like my spine, it holds together. I want a love that is shared so deeply, that our breath becomes one.

I want a love that grows deeper with separation, stronger with pain, wilder with age. I want to love in every form, at every age, in every way. I want a love that even when feelings wax and wane, the love stands like a beacon of hope.

I want a love that's an open door, that doesn't clutch onto the other out of fear. That's full of winsome delight. Where one can be oneself. I want a love full of courage, that's willing to take a bullet for the other. I want a love that never gives up. I want a love that is SO strong...it's strong enough to let go. Strong enough to surrender. That places the others happiness above ones own. I want a love that never ends.
