Quiet Love

Dear World,

I desire an esoteric love.

But I also hope for public displays of affection.

I want a multifaceted love.

One that is subtle, private, loud, and comfortable with undertones coloured and steeped in friendship, and warmth.

I hope my awkwardness paired with quiet confidence will find solace in the strength of your love.

Yes, I want a soft love. Soft and sweet.

That doesn’t mean ‘free from challenges and obstacles’, but, a sense of ease in maintaining love must be present.

I need an actionable love. Because love is an action verb.

I desire a love shrouded in arcane mystery like an ancient melody only we can hear; to dance to and sing along to.

One where only you and I are privy to intricate details between us.

Besides, love can be public facing and also quiet.

There’s a profound appealing subtlety to that kind of love. I want that.

I hope that your quiet strength and tender touch will find unrequited peace in the sanctuary of my presence.

May our love echo quietly and powerfully in spaces only we occupy.

Signed,
