I still believe in love…

Not in the picture-perfect scenes from movies, nor in the grand words that are quickly forgotten.
I believe in the kind of love that brings a deep sense of peace to the soul.
The kind that makes you want to wake up beside someone and share every single day with them even the most ordinary ones.
I await a love filled with sincere embraces, warm conversations in the evenings, spontaneous smiles, and thoughtfulness in the little things.
A love where I don’t have to pretend to be strong, because there is someone by my side with whom I can simply be my true self.
Sometimes it feels as though my heart is too tender for this world... yet, come what may, I never stop dreaming.
I long to feel that magic when a single person becomes your home, your sanctuary, your inspiration, and your happiness all at once.
I want to love deeply.
To the point where I await messages with a smile.
To the point where I miss them even after a brief separation.
To the point where, holding their hand, I know with absolute certainty that I am exactly where I belong.
And perhaps, somewhere out there, there is someone else waiting for that very same kind of love...
