Why do we believe the search for love is the search for ourselves?

When in reality, love is not about looking to be solved, but to be complimented.

To grow together, yetseparately, as two distinct and beautiful beings.

I dont want to be your other half.As if you were not whole when you met me.

As if there was this absence you never quite understood.

I dont want to be your other half.As if theres a chunk of you that belongs to someone else.

As if youve been searching, all this time, for someone to fill the void.

As if anyone could solve your emptiness, by simply placing their heart in your hands.

For a man who knows who he is and what he wants, and has decided he wants me.

Toa Heftiba

I want to be desired in the sense of happiness, of lovenot necessity.

Not a solution to a problem, but a blessingboth of us blessing each other.

I want to be the woman youchoosenot because you have to, but because you want to.

Not because you cant survive without, but because a life without each other is undesirable.

Not because in my absence, youd lose yourself.

But because we find new pieces of ourselves in each other.

And we growtogether and separatebeautifully, chaotically every single day.
