My Voice

I’ve spent so long trying to learn more about myself.
I have sunk myself for hours into hundreds of books;
I’m a professional deep-diver in the seas of meditation and mindfulness;
I have floated down rivers of endless self-reflections
and nearly drowned in this reckless current of coursing emotions.
And yet...
I’ve tripped upon far more hidden pieces of myself
in sparing moments,
in passing whispers,
in two small pieces of paper...
With you,
By you,
From you...
Than more than a decade
of my own self-excavation
has ever uncovered.
Sweet Aletheia!
From: Veritas,
To: My Apollo,
my Bacchus,
my Sancus.

So many girls are looking to be saved. They want a knight in shining armor to come rescue them and suddenly make their lives better. But life doesn't work like that and I don't need saving anyway. I've been there for myself for years now and I'm just fine with being alone rather than being with someone who's wrong for me. No, I don't need rescuing, I need love and commitment and laughter. I don't need a knight in shining armor, I need a gentleman who understands the importance of the little things. I do not demand expensive things or constant attention because that's just not what love is. Love is invaluable and can only be bought by gestures, laughs, smiles, embraces, kisses, and great memories. It's not just about finding the right person, either; it's about BEING the right person. I will devote myself to your happiness if you do the same for me. I will be loyal and true all the way through. But I don't hand it freely; you have to earn it. Respect me, care for me, love me and I will do the same for you.
