Loving others sincerely gives life more meaning than satisfying the need to be loved back.

Something about love has always been so incredibly charming.
Even the body reacts to this strange human emotion so bizarrely.

The heart starts racing.
Heat rises to the cheeks.
Perhaps this is the kind of love we all hope for.
The kind that has soft, delicate touches leave tingles in their wake.
The kind we lose sleep for.
The kind that makes even the wisest person in the room dumbfounded.
The kind that makes us want more and crave for another humans presence.
I once tried to live desperately in the hopes that a love like this would come.
A love so fierce it spreads like wildfire across the rainforest.
And maybe this is why I have never felt truly happy.
I wished for a love that could mend my brokenness, this lonely feeling in my chest.
I thought being loved back was the only way to fill the gap in my heart.
But I was wrong.
Maybe there is a reason why love has stalled a lot on me.
Maybe there is a reason why love has stood me up a few times.
Maybe there is a reason.
This reason, perhaps, is because I deserve to be loved fiercely at the perfect time.
I deserve a love that wont give up on me.
I deserve a love that waits for me.
And the only way I could feel this is if I didnt bargain my love.
If I stopped asking for more than what I rightfully deserved.
I would only feel truly happy in love if I quit putting a price on my heart.
For now, maybe, loves delay fits the timing.
