This kind of love

They say waiting
is the strongest part of love.

Not the kind of waiting
where you put your life on hold,
but the kind where you understand
that sometimes your person
needs time to find themselves.

To figure out their life.
Their work.
Their dreams.
The pieces of themselves
they are still learning to put together.

Many would walk away.

They would say,
"If it isn't happening now,
it never will."

But something deep inside you whispers,
"No.
This is different."

Because sometimes love
isn't about how quickly
two people arrive at the same place.

Sometimes it is about knowing
that what you found
is worth giving time to.

And when your heart says,
"I love like this,"
you listen.

Because every once in a while,
love comes along
that doesn't feel temporary.

It feels rare.

It feels familiar.

It feels like something
you could spend a lifetime
discovering.

And maybe that is why
you are willing to wait.

Not because you are afraid
to find someone else,

but because somewhere deep inside
you already know...

this kind of love
comes only once in a lifetime.
