I wish to be in love. I wish to love and be loved. This is not to say I have never been in love or felt the comfort that comes with being loved. I have felt loved all my life by parents, lovers, and friends. On that front, I’ve been lucky. No, my wish is simply to be in love, to feel romance and desire, the excitement of discovery, and that feeling that can only come when two people pledge to only love each other. Marriage? Not necessarily, though I am not opposed to the idea.
I wish I could tell someone that I love them and they tell me that they love me, in the romantic sense of love, and that I was capable of believing it, embracing it, trusting it to be true. I wish for the kind of certainty of love and romance that, realistically, doesn’t exist in any tangible sense. For me, to love is to trust, to invest who you really are in another person and for them to do in kind. That’s love, it’s a foundation of trust, of wholehearted faith.
