i love, love.

the purest form of connection.

a feeling of safety and protection.

you see, we put love above.

platonic, familial or romantic.

the types of love we feel,

all uniquely helping us heal.

romantic

purest form comes without searching,

you meet and everything feels right.

healing and learning about oneself,

as your dreams are coming to sight.

–

then the more time spent together,

the possibility pops into mind.

connection and safety growing deeper,

this is the person you were meant to find.

–

someone to share all your times with,

as a feeling is growing within.

thinking about what the future holds,

now your love story is going to begin.

–

flourishing in your own journey,

then coming back to share your day.

this type of love is special,

so show appreciation to make it stay.

platonic

the type of love that’s subtle,

but you tell them all the time.

connection so strong it’s like family,

that you protect them from any crime.

–

this connection of love can save you,

can pull out of the hardest day.

you must cherish this love with all you have,

cause life some times gets in the way.

–

quality over quantity is this loves law,

as two are never the exact same,

so rare and so pure that is why,

this love is sometimes described as ‘twin flame’

familial

this type of love is strange,

well at least it is in my eyes.

connection built on safety and trust,

yet it can dress up in a disguise.

–

feeling obliged to show affection,

even when it’s not how i feel within.

just smile and hide the pain created,

not feeling comfortable in my own skin.

–

then realisation hit when i grew,

i don’t have to lie to protect this connection.

and that’s why this love confuses me,

cause i grew up with a misperception.
