Love is

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

This is what true love is to me. This is the relationship I have with my husband. An open relationship.

Saturday, January 21, 2023

 
Love is a journey, hand in hand,
through life, through adventures,
through sorrow, through pain,
your best friend by your side.
In equal partnership, not 
causing eachother pain,
but giving solace, comfort,
love.

Laughing together, crying 
together, carrying your
other half when he is 
to weak to walk himself,
and being able to rely on
them returning the 
favor, if that should be
needed.

Love is building eachother 
up instead of tearing down.
Being on eachothers team,
winning or not makes no
difference.

To be willing to send your 
love away on their own,
to explore fantasies,
trusting they will come
back to you, knowing
they'll do the same
for you.

That's when you know your
love is true .

What a beautiful description of what true love is. Love is giving, not taking. You are truly lucky to have a partner that is there by you but doesn't restrict your imagination, creativity and love of others. That's real freedom.

I am fortunate, in my partnership to have love overflowing. She is open to other possibilities as well. So we both are in a good place. My only wish is to free her from 24/7 caregiving. She needs her own time, her own space and other ways to share her love.

An idyllic perspective on love, what it could be, should be, and sometimes is. It is the deepest, ego-denying emotion we have to give. Lovely sentiments.

Wow interesting write Elizabeth and to have that kind of faith and trust is truly something I know most people cannot hope to acheive.
