19F | May you leave on a rainy day
it is difficult to find love. to find a connection that ignites with the light of a thousand fireflies. and yet our desire for it precedes us beyond our own logical understanding.
there is no spark. just a hearth with a blazing fire aching to be maintained, to be understood by both the people it exists for. our wish not to become a memory or a chapter is one of the many beautiful things there is about being human. the desire for a constant, for a love that seemingly transcends our limited life span. for me, realism saves bits of the heart, seemingly insignificant pieces yet each makes a whole.
whoever my future "she" may be, if your heart ever wishes departure... may you leave on a rainy day. may you leave when everything is falling apart for me. may you do it with the same reverence and honor that i have poured into loving you. may you spare my days of glee, light, luck, and hope.
but i digress. goodbyes aside, may we find each other, nearby or far apart. hello there, my name is Andy, you may also call me AJ. romance is one thing, but what i truly yearn for is patience, effort, and maturity. i sometimes retreat into my shell, because love, true love, terrifies every stardust that makes up everything that i am. every bit of care i have experienced came with a cost i am not ashamed to have paid for and learned from. so i would hope.. that you would be different. even a mere molecule of difference.
if we are speaking beyond prose: i will never date someone even a day younger than i am. i do not want to babysit, my apologies. i much prefer the company of anyone 2-3 years older.
i do adore the complexities of life, the ups and downs of every facet that makes up our days. but it would be odd to open up with a philosophical question, would it not? maybe just for me. it feels... robotic, in a way. i simply ignore such messages. that is all.
