I want a gentle kind of love.

The one, where you can jump without any caution knowing there's a hand to catch you.

The one, where you feel like you can't breathe in the absence of the person.

The one which makes you question yourself,

if this is how love is supposed to be then why did you endure with so much suffering before.

The one where you can discuss about deep philosophical theories one minute

and laugh about that one drunk call in the other.

The one which makes you tear down the wall

you built around yourself throughout all these years. 

The one where you actually realise

love doesn't have to be synonymous with pain.

Rather, it should be synonymous with home.
