Oh, to be loved
Not in the modern way
Or a lechery way
Or a beauty centered way
But in a soft
Gentle
Kind
Whole-hearted
And attentive way
In the kind of way where someone notices the small things
Like the fact I don’t actually like coffee
Or my favorite song
Or that I never wear gold
The kind of love with soft, lingering kisses
Not just ones filled with passion and lust
The kind of love that makes their arms feel like home
A place where the voices quiet
The static stops
The anxiety eases
Weight lifting from our chest in each other\'s presence
I don’t want big, extravagant gestures or overpriced gifts
I want hand written letters
Deep conversations
Reassurance without asking
Simple yet meaningful dates
Hand made, crafted gifts
I want to go stargazing,
I want to go hiking,
I want to walk the edge of the beach,
I want to make crafts together,
Or cuddle and watch TV.
I just want someone to make memories with.
I want the gentle love in movies
I want to be loved fully
And not just for my body
But for ME
Who I am as a person
My personality
My interest
My humor
My scars
My creativity
I don’t want to just be called hot
Or pretty
Or sexy all the time
But I want my eyes compared to diamonds or stars
I want someone who calls me
Stunning
Gorgeous
Beautiful
Vibrant
Sharp witted
I want someone to love as wholeheartedly as I want to love them
I want to be each others muses or reason to get up on the tough mornings
I will love someone like this one
And hopefully I will be loved like this
Just not today.
