I want an old fashioned kind of love.
I dont need the politeness or the handwrittenletters.
I dont need the sunsets and sunrises.
Courtney Clayton
I dont need the lake filled with white swans and the romance all Nicholas Sparks books entail.
To be perfectly honest, I dont need any of that.
And I dont want it.
When my grandpa died, I remember my grandma saying over and over again that she missed him.
She had dementia, and later died of it at the age of 92, but she remembered him.
She remembered their love.
Courtney Clayton
And she missed it so heartbreakingly much.
Thats the kind of love I want.
Its the kind of love that seeps through your every vein.
The kind of love that is gentle and innocent.
The kind of love that doesnt ever stop even when the other persons heart stops.
I want the kind of love that is just as strong fifty years later from the first meeting.
And I want to remember all the first times.
And all the milestones we have gotten through together.
And I want the kind of love that is worth missing.
Thats so worth it, even when you lose this person.
I want the kind of love that I would never ever regret.
I want the kind of love that breathes even when I cant anymore.
I dont need the presents, or the gifts, or the gestures.
I dont need to be spoiled.
I dont need the diamond ring, or the designer bags.
I dont need anything.
Because if I ever find this kind of love, I wont need anything else.
The kind of love that doesnt fade no matter the distance or time apart.
I want the kind of love that is worth the fight.
Thats worth all the hard times and the fights and the dark days.
Because this kind of love is imperfect, just like anything.
But I want the kind of love that is ever changing and always evolving.
I want the kind of love that doesnt grow apart.
That doesnt fade when time causes damages on my looks.
I want the kind of love that is authentic.
That will see my youth just by looking in my eyes.
I want old-fashioned love.
I dont need the material shit this world likes to makes us want.
I dont need theone night standsand the string of guys I have saved on my phone.
I just need it to be real.
The kind of love that is hard and easy all at once.
The true love that is beautiful even amidst the ugly.
I want the love my grandparents had.
The classicold-fashionedlove, that never dies.
