Some Thoughts On Love:

I have found that, with love, its not entirely about loving the perfect woman, but the woman who is willing to accept and cherish an imperfect man. Knowing that someone knows all my flaws and imperfections, but loves me nonetheless means so much more. I guess that’s why honesty is such a beautiful and valuable thing in a relationship, because how can a dear one love you despite your imperfections if she doesn’t know your imperfections? It’s why friendship is the most fundamental and foundational ingredient in any relationship. Only a true friend knows your weaknesses and vices and loves you for them. Friendship is the base, the stock, the pillars. Everything else- the eros, the desire, the selflessness, the adoration, the romance- simply provide the aesthetic features. However, when all of these loves- the pillars and foundations along with the sensational aesthetic features- fall into their proper places at their proper times you have the construction of both a strong and beautiful castle, a “shining barrier” that can only ever be improved. This, my friends, is true love. Don’t ever tell me it doesn’t exist; I’ve seen two people share it, and I want it. But don’t misunderstand. Finding true love is not about finding perfection in someone. It’s about finding grace. It was being loved despite my vices that made me want to improve them. Love a vice in someone, and it will disappear. It’s easy to love someone who is perfect, but true love loves unconditionally. Lord, let my love go free, unconditionally.

“I met a man who’s looking for perfection
Said he’d never met a girl who’s good enough
His eyes are getting old like they’d love to love again
Such a lonely man
Such a lonely man”
