confused

love and lust. those two concepts have gotten so confused over time. guys tell me they want to have sex with me but nothing reciprocates love. i need something to last a lifetime not just a moments pleasure. i crave the kind of love that builds a home. something that grows deeper beyond the skin. i don’t need fleeting promises or hollow words, but a steady heart that beats only for me. in a world that confuses lust for love, i seek a love that’s pure, always there.

The longing for a love that transcends the superficial is beautifully articulated here. You truly capture the ache for a deep, lasting connection in a world often focused on the fleeting.
