This Kind of Love

Genuine Love

By Ariana Yeager Published about a year ago 2 min read

I've loved you like I’ve been high this whole time.

Living in the clouds of ecstasy,

Floating with your touch,

Feeling calm with your presence.

They say it’s only the honeymoon phase.

But we’ve been in this perfect rhythmic dance of love and bliss for awhile.

And we remain in it.

We work through any issue with care and communication.

Because when you love someone so much, the thought of fighting hurts, to the point where you’ll make sure it doesn’t happen.

“It’s not normal if you don’t fight”

“You should hate your spouse at times”

Well if that’s the case then, I feel pity for those people.

It sounds as if they haven’t met their person,

It sounds as if they are missing out on a special kind of love built,

On such deep trust and care and concern for the well being of each other.

Genuine love can run so fucking deep if you let it. Just let it.

Show the most pure, real side of you.

Be unashamed and unembarrassed of everything in front of that person.

They talk about being independent and not being dependent on your partner, but maybe those people are just afraid to get too attached.

Humans need love, Humans need dependency.

It’s okay to be dependent on each other,

That person, could be the reason their S.O. is alive.

They could be the only light their S.O. has seen in years.

If there is a human that is your source of happiness, embrace that feeling, and soak in it.

That is something so rare and beautiful.

Depending can lead to some toxicity or overbearing reliance on another being,

But you’ll feel when it’s done right, or too much.

In that love, you two can depend, just don’t drown each other.

Too many people think it’s wrong, and while it can weigh another down,

There has to be a balance.

Just don’t be afraid to depend,

Because when you find a person that feels like your life line, and like every second away from them is wasted time, then maybe you’ve started to unlock the feeling of the purest, most real, most genuine kind of love.

About the Creator

Ariana Yeager

But, what if it does work out?

She walks through Hell with a smile because she owns her demons.

Don't say why me, say try me.

If you can't beat the fear, do it scared.

You only live once? False. You live everyday.
