It’s not that I despise romance or romantics or whatever the hell you call it. It’s just that the idea of love that current society holds simply doesn’t meet my standards. It feels too shallow, confusing, uncertain, and sometimes even traumatic. If this is the kind of love that the world has to offer, then I don’t want it. I yearn for a love that is pure and innocent, where I can discern the passion and devotion in their eyes with just a gaze. Where physical contact is devoid of any hint of lust. Someone whose eyes sparkle when they look at me, someone capable of understanding me without needing a translation, because they are patient enough to comprehend a soul as complex as mine. I seek someone who’s gentle and sensitive, someone much like him.
