my daily chirp

So, I had a quick conversation with a friend of mine and the topic of true Love came up. It wasn't an in depth discussion of anything substantial but a question posed. What is "True Love?" Now that I've had time to think about it...

True love is an idea. A dynamic idea that changes over time and as one’s perception is influenced by those one encounters And I think that once one’s accepted this, falling in love or meeting someone doesn’t seem as impossible or as distant. I meet a person. I don’t seek perfection. It’s more of finding someone I can trust, want to trust, and want to be trusted by. It’s someone I want loyal to me and I want to be loyal to. It’s a mutual understanding that hey, we’re not perfect, but we get along, and we want to live and grow old together. Mutual tolerance of flaws and differences, while at the same time, learning and growing together, one not allowing the other to remain stagnant.

Is true love something truly to believe in? I don't know, but in the meantime, I'll keep trying to figure it out.
