LOVESELF REFLECTION
I’m not built for halfway love.
Not wired for maybes or “let’s just see where it goes.”
I don’t do casual.
My soul’s has no setting between off and eternal flame.
You see
When I walk into something,
I bring storms and stillness,
I bring home and wildfire,
I bring every broken piece I put together just to love right.
So don’t ask me to be halfway present.
Don’t ask me to water down what’s meant to flood.
I don’t do “situationships.”
That word itself sounds like a warning label
a sign slapped on something not built to last.
When I say I go all in,
it’s not a bluff.
I’ve played too many hands where hearts were trumped by fear,
where truth folded under the weight of convenience.
I’ve seen what it costs to hold back.
And I’m done paying interest on almost love.
So when I lean in,
it’s not just my lips, it’s my lineage.
It’s every ghost I’ve outlived,
every war I’ve come back from,
every night I’ve wrestled myself just to learn peace.
I don’t give slivers.
I don’t carve out safe pieces of affection to hand over like charity.
I give it all.
The raw.
The rough.
The rain.
The reason.
The rebuilt.
You might think that’s too much.
That in a world made of half smiles and side texts,
I’m a relic.
I’m too intense.
I’m too honest.
I’m too heavy for light hearts.
But I’ve learned something about love.
Real love.
It doesn’t whisper from the sidelines.
It dives.
It bleeds.
It believes in something worth holding through the wreckage.
So no…
I’m not built for “let’s see what happens.”
Because I see what can happen.
I see the future in the hand we’ve been dealt.
I see the way your eyes fold when you laugh,
and I already imagine Sunday mornings,
hands tracing coffee mugs and dreams.
I see us.
Not just as a moment,
but as a map.
And I know we can win this game
if we play it with our whole damn hearts on the table.
So if you’re looking for someone
who can keep it shallow…
walk away now.
Because my soul doesn’t wade, it swims deep.
It’s all tide and undertow.
But if you’re ready,
ready for real,
ready for roots that dig into the earth of something honest,
then pull up a chair.
Because I’m already holding the cards,
and I’ve never been afraid to bet it all.
