A Different Type of Love

Imagine the forces involved in bringing two people together. Of the billions of souls walking this planet- at once we encounter someone- if only for a season; someone so intriguing, attractive, necessary, to what we’re going thru- that we have to touch them, hold them, possess them…What power pulls us into each other? What happens to make one person worthy of entrée into your physical space? When true, this tidal wave of emotion may cause one to lose all sense of reason. We go crazy, and we like it. What if, when this feeling found us, we honored it with honesty, maturity, consideration, and true kindness? What if we were intelligent enough to respect the differences that brought us together-never aiming to change them? What if love allowed us the courage to accept the realities we’d wish away on dreams of fairytale love? Imagine understanding the difference between love, and obsession. Visualize the power of infinite forgiveness. Envision love without limits, and unnecessary expectations. Imagine true appreciation. Wouldn’t it be something, if we’d master the art of compromise just enough to really love-when we say we do. If letting go of love’s embrace were not an option…would you be open to a different type of love?

I know love

I used to be afraid of feeling the way I do. I've written my views on love and relationships in what I would describe as a slightly obscure manner. I'm extremely left of center, and I admit- I was petrified of the judgment that comes along with being a free thinking woman.

Silly of me to deny my inner force- the thing that makes me go.
I'm fueled by this thing- the mystery in brings, the pain it causes, and the lovely destruction it conjures. Love is the boss of me,it's complicated,and cannot be contained.

Try as we may- we can't fight it without hurting ourselves... and once we let it penetrate- it's even more powerful over us. I've come to know love on a first name basis. We communicate. We're learning from each other. Love - loves me; aches for my attention- finds me when I'm not looking- so I dare not ignore that love is the reason for my existence.
I understand that love is not possesion, rather an emotion to be shared.

Love isn't about the restrictions we place on those we share our hearts with.Loving someone does not make them trust worthy.Sharing your feelings of emotional attachment with another wont make them perfect. We say- What's Love without trust? I say- love without trust, is very human emotion. We're here to explore, fail, succeed, do better...

At the root of trust is one’s expectation of another to behave in a manner which is indicative integrity. What happens when that person is honest enough to say: “Don’t do that- don't place that weight on me. I’m human. I will fuck up. I may let you down. I may break promises, but I love you more than anything in this world”? How would you handle that? If we were honest- that’s what we’d all say... but we don't, and we won't. At least most of us won't... But I will,cause I know love... and I know it's limits, it's intent, it's true meaning... To love is to have an unconditional feeling of obligation, contribution, affection, emotion, devotion, willingness to compromise, and give the very best you have to offer. This is the only way I know how to do it. And so I say- if you're love for me means, that you'd try to change me... The free, honest, real, unapologetic, side of my heart will advise you- that you're kind of love- could never live in me.
