Believe In My Love (A Short Write-Up)

Posted on October 2, 2015 Updated on October 7, 2015

You don’t have to accept my love. You don’t even have to thank me for it; you can even rue me for it if it inconvenienced you in any way whatsoever. But I beseech you, at the very least, to believe I in it.

Believe that this love sees your faults but chooses not to mind andacknowledges your succumbing to your humanity, to your most primal of drives. And of course, believe that it sees all the beauty that you possess. Believe that this love, despite having tinges of self-interest, which is the desire to have you, can choose to further strip itself down to its most basic tenet –  my offering of self to you, regardless of your willingness – or lack thereof – to do the same, and nothing else. And lastly, believe that it empowers me enough to do anything humanly possible as long as it is within the bounds of sanity and morality, and that includes relinquishing itself.

Believe in that love, the heart that bears its weight, and the boy who is kept alive by that heavy broken heart.
