I'm Holding Out For A Love That Looks Like My Parents'

I want the "always have, always will" type of love my parents rave about.

I'm Holding Out For A Love That Looks Like My Parents'

Mark Davidson

For the entire 19 years I have been alive, I have never had to question my parents' love for each other.

I've grown up seeing my parents love each other endlessly.

I am holding out for a love like theirs.

I have been blessed to have only been in loving and respectful relationships for the most part. I have been blessed to be with people I can see myself in the future with.

However, I know that, deep in my soul, I am still holding out for that person who makes me feel like it is possible to have a love similar to my parents.

There is no love quite like it.

I want the "always have, always will" type of love my parents rave about. I want to look at the person I'm in love with and see forever with them.

I want to look at them and know that this is a never-ending love.

I want that person of every second of every day for the rest of our lives.

I want someone who makes me feel like rom-coms are not a thing of fiction, but my reality.

I want my future children to feel as loved and secure in their home as I do. I want to continuously fight for someone every day, even when it doesn't seem like it can work anymore.

My parents have beat the odds in every way to get to where they are. Through ups and downs, changes in values and three kids, their love has not wavered.

My parents have taught me that true love is real as long you are consistent, patient and kind. They have shown me the importance of forgiveness, communication and effort.

I do not want something that is just like what my parents have, but I want something similar.

My dad writes my mom the sweetest notes that she frames and leaves up around the house. He buys her flowers on occasion and always says she's the hottest woman in the world.

My mom raves about how hard working my dad is and buys him books that she knows he will love. She always says he's a damn handsome man.

I was blessed with seeing the kind of love you read stories about. The kind of love that is in movies. The kind of love you sing along to.

I see this kind of love as something real now, not just something that's in movies.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
