You're definitely confusing the idea of what true love ACTUALLY is with what society and centralized media have told you what it should be. Real life is not Hollywood. I don't know a single man (myself included) that will take the time out of his day to sit down and write a poem for the woman he is in love with. How he treats her, how they solve problems together, how they work together to achieve their life goals, and how tolerant they are of each other's imperfections is the "language of love." Trust me, I know.
hello.
i'm one guy.
i've written poems.
^_^
That's good. I suppose that you're more of a rarity, from my experience.
maybe.
but it's not something that's typically shared in circles...
You said it yourself… you don’t know one man who would
take time out of his day
The things you mention are vital. They are the essential parts of the relationship. But one of the several reasons poetry is something some people appreciate is that it indicates someone took time out of their day to focus on you.
To think about how you make them feel, and want to share that with you in a beautiful way.
They wanted to make something beautiful in your honor.
It’s a diamond necklace indeed.
You can’t build a relationship out of diamond necklaces; not all poets make good spouses. But a good spouse who does things like that as well is not something to be trivialized, but treasured and emulated.
Beautifully said, lovely 💯💜🫂❤️🔥
