My heart longs

I was born in the wrong era: My heart longs for romance My heart longs for love letters And public declarations of love My heart longs My heart longs for chilvary And a tip of the hat when I enter the room My heart longs My heart longs for doors to be opened And flowers on my doorstep My heart longs My heart longs to be serenaded And not to feel jaded and complacent My heart longs for clarity And confidence My heart longs for a Bridgerton.. And Wuthering Heights kind of love The kind where it’s unwavering.. uncontainable and where no one loves the other more Where the love between two is shared and declared My heart longs My heart longs for those stories where our hearts beat as one In unison, beat for beat A love that cannot come undone A love that is strong and complete My heart longs My heart longs for a love that holds a safe space A love that knows no bounds or excuses A love that knows each crease in my face And dares to study each corner of my mind A love that withstands the test of time Shouts from the rooftops And cannot believe that he is mine And I am his A love that reassures and adores Every part of me I try to hide A love that is transparent and kind My heart longs for a love that’s difficult to find A love where I can bare my all And know that in his arms I can fall A love that brings peace to the turbulent sea that is my heart A love that will cross oceans and travels the seas. A love that climbs mountains just to be close to me My heart longs to be set free To pour out all of the love contained within me Without being left feeling empty But rather a reciprocation Of unlimited and unconditional love A love that is deep rooted in an unmoving foundation Of peace and respect My heart longs for a love that does not need to be checked A love that is easy and seamless The hopeless romantic in me no longer tugs gently But, screams for the loves described My heart longs for a great love A love that is inscribed in the scriptures A love where I am his rib And he is my protector My heart longs for the softest of loves That allows the flowers in my garden to bloom whenever he is near Consider this my prayer for the love For which my heart longs…
