The Kind You Deserve

Mon, 11/06/2017 - 21:44 -- shyraay

You would know when you understand.

And you would understand when you feel it,

If It’s the real kind of love,

The love that gives you freedom,

The love that makes you grow,

Nourishes you.

 

It’s not the kind of love where you are obligated to love,

Where happiness and happiness only must be constant,

The kind of obsessive love that is controlling. It is not that kind of love where it is a feeling.

 

And you would understand when you feel it.

You would feel it when you know

That this kind of love is a commitment,

a choice.

That’s the kind of love, where you are able to trust,

While being trusted.

 

The kind of love you need, which allows you to be heard and understood,

Where patience and trust is built

And allows you to reveal yourself, to accept;

Where honesty is present.

 

The kind of love you need,

Where you feel secure, physically and emotionally,

The kind of love where you are able to find yourself.

 

You would feel safe.

That’s the kind of love you deserve.
