Dont just say what I want to hear.

Say the things that scare you to speak out loud.

I am only accepting of a love that is raw and real.

Don’t Just Love Me, Be Vulnerable With Me

Daria Shevtsova

I am not looking for any key in of surface-level love.

I am only accepting of a love that is bottomless.

Truthfully, I am not even really looking love.

I gave up that search long ago.

But if I was, I now know what I am looking for.

If I am to love again, I need it to be vulnerable.

If I am to love again, I need it to be authentic.

And if you want me to love you, then this is what I need from you.

Dont just give me flowers.

Give me seeds that we can plant and nurture.

Give me something we can dig deep into and watch blossom together.

Dont just tell me Im pretty.

Tell me that you see my soul and then show me yours.

Tell me you see the beauty in our shadows.

Dont just attempt to sleep with me.

give a shot to undress my heart before you undress me.

Dont just say what I want to hear.

Say the things that scare you to speak out loud.

Say the things thatll break the walls weve been boarding up for far too long.

Dont just pretend things are perfect.

Pretend that we live in a world without judgment and show me your imperfections.

Pretend its just you and me, living freely.

Dont just agree with me.

Agree to challenge me, grow with me, and bust through old boundaries.

Agree to learn from each other even when its hard.

Dont just appease me.

like me by holding my soul in your palms and my name on your tongue.

just me by hearing what I really need between sheets and fantasies.

Dont just show me your best self.

Show me your true self.

Dont just take me on dates.

Take me to your past on our way to a real future.

Dont just fall for me.

Fall with me, so we learn how to rise together.

Fall hard, but dont fall fast.

Let us take our time in falling in love.

Dont just love me, be vulnerable with me.

Im not even really searching for love, but if I was…
