Steady Flame

A real kind of love that doesn’t disappear when things get messy. It’s about staying, accepting someone as they are, and being there without trying to fix them or walk away.
We are often told that love is soft or fragile, but this concept proves it is the strongest power of the soul. It isn’t just a feeling that comes and goes when things are convenient. Real love is born in the deep end, in those moments when you see someone without masks, without defenses, and choose to stay. Not because they are perfect, but because they are real.

A Steady Flame doesn’t run from the past or get scared of old wounds. It doesn’t try to change you or 'fix' you. It simply stands by you to remind you that you are never alone.

It takes courage to be this open, to drop the ego and just be present. But that is the choice made here: to choose each other, again and again, even through the uncertainty. It isn't always easy, but it is true. And that kind of truth is the only thing that really matters.

Passion fades fast, but a steady flame is what actually lasts ❤️

Steady Flame

Need for clarity and moving past trauma bond territory.
Choosing you is a reality even when wrong, feels right at the end of every day, no matter how we got here.
You’re right the static never stood a chance. When I said I try to comply, I never meant it as a hollow gesture or a lack of fire. I meant that I’ve been trying to meet you in the silence, reciprocating distance coz I thought it was what you needed. But I don’t want to hide behind those walls anymore.

I dont like the phantom limb. I want the storm, the reality and everything in between. I’m not just keeping this love safe, as long as its mutual, I’m ready to live it beside you. If the word you’re waitin for is Si then know I’ve been whisperin it in my heart all along.
But let’s be as true as that "steady flame." I want us to be more than a memory or a trauma bond. To do that we can’t just sweep the debris under the rug and hope it stays there. We need to clear the ground for good. I want to hear your thoughts, even the sharp ones coz unresolved ghosts always find a way back to the surface. Let’s pack light, leaving the extra baggage behind, so we don’t repeat the cycles that hurt us.
I never want to be the reason for your trauma and I’ve realized that sometimes we trigger in each other the very things we fear most. I know the weight of discussion can be heavy but the silence of an unresolved argument is heavier. Let’s trade the static for a truth that actually resolves. No more running from the reality of us. I’m ready to stop the orbit and just be present.
(And fine... I’ll lose the sunglasses if it means you can see how much I mean this 😇)
