People talk of a one true love, the only person you are meant to be with, and when you find them, everything will be like one glorious, continuous golden sunset. This moment of hoping it will never end. Every kiss feels like an emotional bomb went off inside you. As your body bursts with a warmth that spreads, from your core outwards, the hairs on your body electric. In that moment you fall deaf and blind to the whole world. Every time you hold their hand, it feels like wearing gloves on a cold winter morning, the perfect fit for your hand and the warmth that stops you from losing all feeling. Every hug feels like a jumper created on for you. Your hearts beat in sync and your breathing aligns perfectly.
This is a foolish notion, because true love takes work. Talking through your issues, because you want to stay with them, you work on it and take care of it. That’s how relationships last longer. How you create true love.
