How can we ask for more when there is nothing to give. Love is not your typical duty nor chore. It cannot provide nor can it satisfy. There is nothing to give when you are in love, but your heart. I find it funny that so many people run away from love because they think they need more. I was one of them, but does it count if I was sixteen? Many people have this idea of a beautiful romance with red roses, fancy nights out to dinner, surprise chocolates. It's all so luxurious and people begin to forget that in none of that can you find delight. Through actions, through memories, through pure silence, through arguments of nothingness, you find love.
If love is composed of one soul within two bodies, then why do we need all of these artificial gifts to make us feel loved? I still can't come up with an answer for that one because I too, want all of these false reminders that I am loved. It's not rocket science, women love to feel appreciated for our selfless works. Seeing a man and all he has to offer, is clearly not enough for women at this current place in time. Women have finally been given the opportunity to discover their abilities and showcase their talents in todays society. We understand our worth and no longer see ourselves as purely caretakers.
I am reminded now more than ever how blessed I am to have the relationship that I have, to be reminded of all I am worth, and to feel satisfied in time spent together. What we as women need to understand is that love is not a concoction of superficial deeds, rather a simple gift to be taken as each day comes.
