“Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.”

Quote by

—Albert Camus

What Is Love, Anyway?

It's the daylight in the darkness

and the way you hold me-

embracing all my sharpness.

It's in the quiet hush

that follows our almost surrender,

when I ask softly, "What is love, anyway?"

and you slowly whisper my name

as if it were an answer.

It's in the way my words have become yours

and you silly little habits mine,

like kissing the top of our hands

when they accidently touch-

that way, we will never fight.

It's in the sweet nothings

or when we dance atop the counters,

it's in the way I smooth out the creases of your shirt

or the way you always hug me tighter.

It's in the warmth when you're near

and the burning of my heart when you're gone,

it's the patience of your silence,

despite the fact that I still don't know.

"What is love, anyway?"

I ask, and your smile grows wider.

Maybe it's the slow unraveling of my world

whenever I realize-

that my name remains your only answer.

-Ash

“What is love?”

“Love is consideration. It's understanding way beyond what words might be able to convey. It's a conscious choice to hold, to respect, to admire, to protect and to turn back, like Orpheus did for Eurydice.

Love is peace, the feeling of freedom that you get to be anything that you want to be, and it's acceptance that your person would love you just the way you are.

Love is security that you feel in someone's presence that everything is safe— your heart, your secrets, your thoughts, your soul. and it’s the assurance that your shortcomings would always be looked at with the perspective to help you grow from and your traumas to be healed from.”

When I first saw you, It out burst my mind.

I simply gasped.

Got egregiously begged

To feel wanted;

By your gaze.

I lost track of time, Seconds got froze.

And in that moment

Feeling I felt

Towards you

Had Immortality.

Breaths were shallow, Beats were drumming;

Senses got numbed.

And definitions made me realise;

These eyes are only for you.

And if it were for you, I will risk it all.

I would say I love you like nothing else, but that's not true. I love you like I love everything. I love you with all of the passion I have put into the world, and all of the fire it has given me. I love you like my calloused hands from years of work, I love you like my clay cakes nails and paint stained jeans, I love you like my favorite tea in the early morning and the sound of rain on the road outside. I love everything the way I love you.

I love you, because you're the only one in the entire world who would listen to me talking about a little hole in my sock for an hour straight with all your attention.
