The right person will awaken a deep love for yourself, revealing the magic and wonder of your own being, embracing both your strengths and imperfections, inspiring you to reach new heights.
A soulmate whose love holds you like the ocean’s tide, soft, calming and unending.
I need him to love me with that fierce and primal urgency, as ancient and powerful as if it were drawn from the deepest well of human history and emotion, in his raw, deep, and potent ways ever known to mankind.
Else Fitzgerald, from "Everything Feels Like the End of The World," publ. in 2022
To feel safe in someone's energy
is a different type of intimacy.
You must think of me as one who, no matter the storms you bring or the shadows you cast, will always hold you within my arms—an embrace not bound by reason, but by something far more persistent, as though fate itself stitched it into my being.
"Mission", Leonard Cohen
François Truffaut, L'Histoire d'Adèle H. (𝟣𝟫𝟩𝟧)
when she’s mine ima treat her like God handed her to me personally
— FRIEDRICH HÖLDERLIN ⚜️ Hyperion, transl. by Ross Benjamin, (2008)
Love. A sweetness so deep to live in, thick as blood, rich and biting-like sinking into dark honey.
You know what’s sexy
Peace and quiet
that “partners in crime” type of love.
