Love is a strange, beautiful thing. It is not just about grand gestures or poetic words. Sometimes, love is found in the smallest moments, in the simplest acts of care. This is the story of me and Arobindu, a boy who loved me fiercely, protected me even when I was shattered, and never let go, even when everything seemed to fall apart.
Arobindu is stubborn, but in the best way possible. He holds on to love with a determination that is rare. When I was broken, when I felt like I had nothing left, he wrapped me in his warmth, not just with affection, but with deep respect. In his presence, I never had to pretend about anything. I could be vulnerable, I could fall apart, and he would still be there, holding me together.
I remember a particular moment, a simple yet profound one. I was tying his shoelaces, and in that instant, I realized something, it didn’t make me feel small. I didn’t feel lesser, I didn’t feel like I was submitting or sacrificing a part of myself. Because love is never about power; it is about balance. Just like I tied his laces, he carried my burdens on his shoulders. We held each other in different ways, yet with the same intensity.
Society often tells us that love should look a certain way, that strength means never bending, that pride should never be set aside. But with Arobindu , I have learned that true love is about trust, about letting go of ego, about being completely honest with each other. In his love, I am free.
Arobindu doesn’t just love me, he honors me. He listens to my fears, celebrates my joys, and stands beside me in every storm. And recently I started trying do the same for him in my own way . Because that’s what love is, it’s not about keeping score or proving a point. It’s about showing up, again and again, with kindness and patience.
There is something incredibly powerful about knowing that you can break down in front of someone and they will still see you as whole. In a world that often demands perfection, Arvind allows me to be imperfect, and that is the most beautiful gift of all.
So, if you ever find someone who loves you this way, who stays even when things get difficult, who respects you in every moment, who lets you be yourself completely, hold on to them. Because love is not about grand declarations; it is found in the quiet, unspoken acts of devotion.
And sometimes, love is as simple as tying a shoelace.
