Love in simple things

Love is intuitive

"I am tired."

"You can lay on me"

"I am tired of living my life. I am surviving for a long time now. I just need some rest"

"I can take care of you"

"I feel like I failed myself."

"No, you didn't. You gave your best all these years. I know it was difficult. I will be here to take care of you. You can rest"

"I am afraid to rest. My brain constantly wants to compensate for the lost years"

"Don't cry"

"I can't help it. I had a lot of potential. I can't handle all that after a while. It became tough for me to handle. I snapped after a point. I was going through a lot but I didn't know it. Now I know what happened, I am aware of what had happened. I just couldn't help but feel the sharp pain in my heart. I think it is the regret and the guilt"

"Hmmm."

"The thoughts are eating me alive. I can't sit alone and think about my career for a minute. I am restarting my career after a lot of failures and it just feels heavy. I am very lost. I am unsure about what is ahead. I am 25 and I am very sad."

"I could see"

"I just want to crash somewhere. I only knew you. I came here. Can you take care of me?"

"For sure, I can. I want to take care of you. You can rest here. As long as you want."

"I am really happy that you are here. There are many people out there who don't have a place to go. I wish they all find someplace to go. Somewhere silent, peaceful, and quiet. Somewhere they could actually think positive things. I am tired mentally, physically, and financially."

"I will support you till you get back on your feet. We can figure this out together. I have a good job. I am very confident that I can spend some money on us. We can be safe here"

I hugged him tight and I didn't want to let go. He held me closer and we both closed our eyes for a moment. He could clearly see me shivering from the uncertainty of life and I could clearly see him empathize with me. I felt seen and validated. I felt safe and secure.

"Can I go bring you a pizza so we can eat and rest for a while?"

"Sure. I was hungry actually"

"Wait for me"

I could wait there forever thinking about my safety and security with this person. Love is intuitive.
