The idea of love

[Ihsan]

You don't love me
You just love the idea of me!!

You say that you love me,
But what you really mean is that
You need a space for your love to occupy.
You need someone to be he object of your
Affection.
Which in truth, has nothing to do with me.

I do not wished to be loved
For the sake of being loved.

I want to be loved because you have
Traced my scars back to their origins
And found something familiar
On your way there.

I want to be loved because
You have turned my heart
Inside out and sorted through its contents.

I want to be loved because your pain
Recognises mine.
And when we meet eyes, I don't have to
Wonder if I'm being seen.

I want to be loved not because
Im the antidote to your loneliness,
But because ur loneliness
Runs parallel to mine.

I want to be your companion,
Not your solution,
Your partner, not a stand
In front of an empty space.

Love me past the surface of the skin
Or do not love me at all!!

Maybe that’s the tragedy of modern love.

Many people don’t fall in love with a person ,
they fall in love with how that person makes them feel.
The comfort.
The attention.
The escape from loneliness.
The idea of finally being understood.

But real love begins only when the illusion ends.

When someone sees the damaged parts,
the contradictions,
the silence,
the emotional weight a person carries,
and still chooses to stay without trying to turn them into a solution for their own emptiness.

What she asks for is not obsession,
not admiration,
not dependency.

She asks to be seen completely.
Not as a distraction from pain,
but as another human being
whose wounds, fears, and loneliness
deserve understanding rather than possession.

And perhaps the deepest kind of love
is when two people stop trying to save each other
and simply decide to walk beside one another
through everything life becomes.

Because being needed is easy.
But being understood,,that is rare!!.

Some people don’t love you they love the role you play in their life.

That’s why it feels empty, even when they say all the right words.
