You Deserve A Peaceful Love

In the angriest of storms and in the cold midnights, I hope you find someone whose calm matches your deepest longing. 

In a world where doubts are higher than certainties, I hope you find someone who is unequivocal about you. 

Once, years ago, I was in a bubble of loud and unsure moments. I was ignored, I was left out, I was ghosted for some weeks, but he kept coming back as if nothing happened. Joke’s on me, I accepted him, even after all the no-show and gaslighting.

I was young and naïve, thinking that he needed his alone time, which meant I had to be invisible at one point for him to be okay with everything. 

I did not know it back then, but I know now that I deserved more than that. I lost myself trying to make him feel complete. 

He broke my heart and every piece of me was scattered away. I kept thinking it was my fault and I should’ve done better. But it wasn’t supposed to be like that.

Those moments used to linger like a musty smell; I was unable to erase them in my mind and my heart.

I am elated that it all ended, even though I learned the hard way that love should be celebrated during sunsets too. Sunsets are the time where the sun meets the sea.

That was hell.

The calm sea. The peace and quiet. The sincere and incessant warmth true love brings. The tranquility in your mind. Undisturbed and content. Carefree and not addled.

You deserve the ease and comfort a peaceful love brings. So, I hope you won’t settle for less than what your heart truly deserves.

You deserve it all. You deserve a gentle kind of love. You deserve the equanimity of romance.

This love is heaven now. I hope you find yours too.
