Love me like…

captivatedheroine:

I want you to love me like you’re an infant. Look deep into my eyes for your eyes tell me that I’m everything you ever need and more. Trust me and feel safe whenever my arms are wrapped around you. Never let anyone take you away from me and cry for my name when I leave. Love me like you’re an infant, and let my heart be stirred with the kind of love that is unique for its innocence and purity.

I want you to love me like a preschooler. Chase and try to catch those butterflies with me at the meadow. Watch my face brighten up as you show me your A’s and your abstract paintings. Let me color your favorite coloring book and tell them they’re beautiful. Smile sheepishly whenever someone mentions my name and blush whenever I’m around. Love me like a preschooler and let me be the center of your wonderland.

I want you to love me like we’re in grade school. Share and compare lunch with me during lunchtime. Argue with me over the silliest things then give up because you’d rather lose the argument than lose me. Assume that you’re the coolest guy in class and brag at how the hottestbitches girls in the batch stare at you as you walk along the hallway. Defend me from those bullies who constantly tell me that your admirers are far way prettier than I am. Doodle my name with yours at the back of my notebook. Stand behind me during flag ceremony and whisper how out of tune the singer of the day for the national anthem is or how funny the principal looks when she’s really furious. Send butterflies to my stomach— butterflies that are enough to make me giddy and hyper all day and enough to make me unable to sleep at night. Love me like we’re in grade school where love meant looking far beyond my bad points and focusing on the good ones.

I want you to love me like we’re in high school. Watch with me with our hands intertwined as the sun slowly fades away into the unseen horizon. Pass by me at the hallway and act like you didn’t notice me as you slip a letter into my hand. Sing with me at the top of your voice at the karaoke bar and dance with me as if no one’s watching under the pouring rain. Talk with me until the wee hours of the morning for nothing beats the sincerity and depth of late night conversations. Have me wake up with a good morning message from you, reminding me that I am on your thoughts from the time you wake up. Introduce me to your parents as the girl whom you wouldn’t mind spending the rest of your life with. Invite me to your prom/ graduation ball and ask my parents if they would allow you to be my date. Watch a scary movie with me and hug me whenever I jump from terror. Remind me unfailingly that I am beautiful whenever I feel otherwise and that I am loved in spite of my numerous insecurities. Love me like we’re in high school, where our passions almost always get the best of us.

I want you to love me like we’re in college. Wild and free. Take me somewhere I’ve never been before. Be my guide and companion in this chaotic world as I explore the world in a more different, but more mature way. Disobey your parents when they want you to just stay at home and meet with me wearing your cutest smile. Love me like we’re in college where love seems to defy all odds.

I want you to love me like we’re already in our 80’s. Timeless and undying. Make me breakfast in bed and greet me “good morning beautiful” despite my messy gray hair and saggy skin. Watch the stars with me on those cold evenings as my head leans on your shoulder and we talk about the promises we’ve kept, dreams we’ve fulfilled and goals we didn’t manage to reach. And when we finally reach the point where we run out of things to talk about, we shift into that kind of comfortable silence that only two people who really love each other would understand. Stay by my side when I’m sick and encourage me to take my medicines even though my cries are already deafening. Wait for me to fall asleep and promise me that when tomorrow comes, you’ll still be by my side, smiling at me genuinely. Love me like we’re already in our 80’s, enduring, unconditional, and can only be severed by death.

Love me like you’ve never done before and love me like you’ll never love another even if you were given the chance to do so in another lifetime.
