When Love Finds You Again

When love finds you again, I hope it brings you someone gentle, someone kind. I hope it brings you a human being who introduces you to a softer version of your life — someone who helps you find a way back into your tenderness, someone who helps you find a way back into your heart.

When love finds you again, I hope it chooses you completely. I hope it brings you the kind of person who doesn’t make you perform for their attention, who doesn’t make you beg for their heart. I hope it feels secure, I hope it feels like something you can trust, like something that cannot be threatened or taken from you, like something you can believe in, like something that will stay.

When love finds you again, I hope it magnifies your spirit. I hope it brings the hidden parts of you to the surface, I hope it helps you to expand. 

When love finds you again, I hope it brings you the kind of human being who has done the work to heal themselves, so they can love you how you deserve to be loved. I hope it brings you the kind of person who knows that they cannot save you, but who holds your hand while you save yourself — who anchors you and roots you and cracks light into your life.

When love finds you again, I hope it gifts you the kind of human being who is not afraid of being responsible for your heart, who is not afraid of the effort it would require to care for someone with a soul like yours. 

When love finds you again, I hope it brings you the kind of human being who sees you clearly. The kind of person who considers you, who borders your solitude; the kind of person who listens, who makes the effort, who connects. 

When love finds you again, I hope it enters your life with ease. I hope it feels like peace, like safety, like a return to what is whole. I hope it feels like something certain, like something steady, like a deep exhale, like a homecoming, like an answered prayer — like all of the love you have put into this world coming back to you at last.
