The Day I Was Reminded of What Love Really Looks Like…

Love is something sent from heaven to worry the hell out of you.-Dolly Parton

It was one of those days; My energy felt low and I felt lost; And then I thought I’d go visiting; I arrived at my host’s place in no time; We exchanged pleasantries and hugs and kisses; And following that, gossips went back and forth! After some time, I drove the conversation and finally got to tales of my love life; She listened with infinite patience. When it felt like I had spoken forever, I apologized for my rambling and asked if she had anything to say… She asked what I wanted to hear from her. I told her I wanted some wise words, some validation or reassurance, or whatever she had to offer.

“I can’t validate or reassure you; you and I know that! But I can share with you what I saw when love came visiting. And to think I almost missed her; Love is so much more than words, it’s a lot about action and attitude! It’s a decision to commit even when there’s no reason to! It’s going the extra mile on a journey you might finish alone; It’s sticking with the other when all their glamour and intelligence are gone; It’s smiling into their eyes when they have lost all memory of you; You see their personality slip away before your eyes; Yet you feel no hurry to be elsewhere!” “You seem very certain, you have walked this talk, yeah?” “Yes, I have…and as crappy as some of this may sound, it’s the purest thing life has ever given me and it took a while for me to see that!”
