We Don’t Love Each Other In The Same Way, And That’s What Makes Us Great

We love, truly and deeply, but perhaps not in the same way.

You love me recklessly, without abandon. You’ve been broken, made whole, and broken again more times than you can count.

In a world where things are constantly broken, you are sure of this.

I love you gently and fastidiously. I want to protect from the demons inside and outside of you. I love you in a way that makes me want to do everything in my power to make you whole again. My love for you treads carefully, but surely. I want to be your shield because it breaks me whenever I see you broken.

I am your guide, your constant in this fickle world. In us, you have found the happiness you’ve been seeking. I know that you would break all barriers just to make us work. You would love me, against all odds.

I love you because you light up my day. You are my sunshine, everything is a lot brighter when I am with you. You will always be at the top of my list. And I hate it whenever you put me before yourself because I love you in a way that makes your happiness more important than mine. I would let you go, if it meant the promise of someone better.

I love you differently but I know that doesn’t make my love any less than yours.
