It’s easy to put yourself down and to run away from a potential love because you’re so scared of screwing it up. It’s easy to run. But you’re worth more than the type of love that leaves. You are worth more than the kind of love that fades. You are worth more than the type of love that hides. 

The truth is, the kind of love that you are worth is something that probably hasn’t come yet. Because if it happened to you, then you wouldn’t have had to say goodbye to it. Because the kind of love you are worth is never going to utter the words “goodbye”.

This is the kind of love you are worth: It’s the kind that doesn’t shy away from your light. It’s the kind that latches onto your rays, letting them shine even brighter. The kind of love you are worth is the kind that says hello to you with vivid colors, and one that shouts “I love you” for the whole world to hear.

The kind of love that you are worth is the kind that never dampens your smile.

It is the kind that sees the whole galaxy by just looking into your eyes.  The kind that sees the future just by seeing your smile. And the kind that never, ever, looks away from your steady gaze.

It’s the type of love that never wavers, no matter how adamant the weather men are about the category five hurricane.

Even if the foundation of the house shakes with the wind and thunder, this love won’t lose power when the electricity goes out.

It will make sparks just by seeing you. This love will make power just from being in the presence of you.

The kind of love that you are worth is the kind that is tender with every touch it gives you. It will stroke you, like you are the canvas, and they will paint you in their favorite watercolors. Bringing out your strengths in red, and bringing out your laughter in blue.

This type of love is powerful. And no matter how far you run, it will follow you home.

You see, the type of love you are worth is the kind that doesn’t give up. It is the kind of an elephant, the kind that never forgets. The kind that can paint you even if they are unable to speak.

You deserve the type of love that won’t run from you. And the kind of love that you are worth, won’t. It won’t disappear. It won’t fade like a twenty year old tattoo. It will grow more vivid and bright with each day that passes. It is a loud, obnoxious, and fierce force that will protect you amongst the chaos. Amongst the sadness. Amongst the anxiety.

The kind of love you are worth won’t ever turn away. It will hold your hand through the summer despise sweaty and slick palms. It will kiss your nose despite the frost bitten temperatures of winter. And it will fall for you everyday, like the leaves in autumn. It will never stop falling. It will always be calling your name. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
