Musings on love

By Karen CavePublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Top Story - August 2024

I love you, and I love him too.

You are my safety, my home, my family, my acceptance of all the parts of me that are good, that are great - and that are also not so great.

You accept me when I am happy, sad, confused, joyous, excited, content, avoidant, afraid, irritable, frustrated, creative, conflicted - or craving an adventure.

You commit to me when I want to be here - and at the times I need to be somewhere else.

He is my alluring side, he is my intrigue, my taste for excitement, for the unknown, for a bit of mystery. He is uncertainty, grey areas, a brush of the hand, and an electric charge running through both our bodies.

    I can't quite explain what love is, but it's definitely not a game of strategy, not cold violence, not shackles, not humility, and not making people suffer all kinds of injustice

    I like the frankness of this. It's a dangerous admission but an acknowledgment also of what "you" need.
