Sustainable Love

Have you ever met someone
who just gets you?

Where conversation flows without issue,
and you find the time flies by
when they're around.
How they look into your eyes
and truly see you.
You feel more comfortable around them
than with anyone else.

An instant connection;
not just attraction
or chemistry
but compatibility.

Where nearly two years later,
they're not tired of you
and they are excited to see you--
every
single
day.
Where they talk about the future,
and you are in it.
How everything feels natural with them.

The concept that
you can be annoyed with them
and vice versa
without it being the end of everything.
Where they give you just as much effort
as you do them,
and you laugh about the most
absurd things
together.

A love that is sustainable,
rewarding,
and genuine.

Somehow,
I was lucky enough to meet
that person.
My perfect complement
because we are two wholes
not two halves.

He has introduced me
to what it means
to be in a fulfilling relationship.
He has shown me
that I am not "too much"
for being my authentic self.
He has sparked a fire inside of me
to be the happiest person I can be
for myself
because I deserve it.
