I’ve turned myself into a soft river. I used to think it was boring to be so gentle. Or that I would get bored being so gentle. But all that I find here is strength. My lover, now, is my river bed and I’m gently rivering my way along with him.

The song comes on. You know what song. The one you say ‘Sh sh sh, hold on, I love this song’ as you turn up the volume. The ‘ Oh my gosh I haven’t heard this song in forever’ song, that you proceed to know every single word to.

I want a love that isn’t afraid of feeling. A love that breathes, and gives, and takes in equal doses. The kind of love that gives you goosebumps, and is so easy that its almost hard to talk about because you don’t want to jinx it
