"Of course I want love and romance. Who doesn’t want that one person who makes you feel like..."

“Of course I want love and romance. Who doesn’t want that one person who makes you feel like you are complete and that when you’re with everything makes sense and you feel as if you can handle anything and take on a war just because they are beside you. If anyone tells you that they don’t want this, that they don’t want to live and grow old with someone who understands them completely, loves every flaw and every strength then those people are liars. Those people are the kind that thought they had that with someone once. Thought that it was meant to be, or that they finally found it, but ended up being even messier than they were before them. Everyone wants this. Or at least I think everyone does. I mean why wouldn’t you want someone who loves you for who you are and wouldn’t change anything about you and only learns with you, grows with you, doesn’t understand how they ever thought alone was good enough. Of course I want this but I’m not going to go searching my entire life for it. I’m not going to think everyone I meet is this person or could be this person. And I’m not going to stop living my life in the way I want, or do things that I’ve always wanted to do because I haven’t found “the one” yet. I’m just waiting. I’m being patient, or at least trying to be. And if I never find them at least I know that I held on to hope that I might, or that I didn’t not accomplish what I wanted to because they never suddenly appeared in my life. But yes, I do want that everlasting kind of love that you read about and watch films about. I mean what person with a beating heart, a racing pulse and an imagination of a future filled with love and trust wouldn’t want that?”
