Love, as Uncliche as Possible

Simply what I want, as cliché as that may or may not be.

 

I want love. You don’t understand what I’m saying just by those three words. I mean, you might, but it’s not likely. I don’t just want someone to fall madly in love with me like those stupid romance movies. If that happened, I’d probably cry forever that my life had turned into some sick cliché. I want love. I want love to be witty and sarcastic. Someone who can throw the same s**t back at me that I will throw at them. Someone that can retaliate in less than three seconds. I want love to have outstanding taste in music. That goes for literature and film too. Love has to have read something either by George Orwell, or at least be familiar with William Shakespeare’s works. If love likes The Kooks and horror films, we will get along just fine. I want love to be kind to everyone; not just the people he knows. Love must be spontaneous. He must keep me on my toes at all times. Love must read my writing. He must take interest in my passions, whether it is good or not. Most importantly, love must listen and be patient. He must not only accept me for who I am, but accept the world for what it is and love it. I want love to see the beauty in everything, including myself. I want love to make my heart explode in a way those cliché romance movies can’t even fathom. I want to find love.

I really love, for lack of a better word, the use of italics to specialize love to mean a person. I enjoy the ingenuity of this, past the stereotypical "I'm looking for love" blurbs/poems. I also find this lovely because I, myself, am looking for similar attributes in a possible future "love".

"cant...even...fathom..." Gave me chills! I want love too but I doubt it will pass all my requirements. I hope you find your love and I have learned that it can be a growing thing just as much as something that just happens, but if such a man as this exists out there I hope you can be ready to be what he needs too. That is what I have been thinking about for myself anyway.

Solid work, though the format of just a chunk of text always discourages me ;) Perhaps it could be done up as a list from a queen. I am just letting my imagination run. I truly hope this happens for you.
