For me, intimacy without love is barren.
A friendship without love is not a friendship.
A “lover” who does not love you is not a lover.
Not fake love. Not empty words. Not trickery which implies such a thing, but in reality, is nothing close to it.
Because I am a person, not a thing.
I can’t do “thing.”
And I can’t withstand a conversation that has no love.
