Mature love

Mature love is what remains after novelty fades and you choose your person anyway—knowing their particular shape and shadow, their capacity to wound you, and loving them still. It asks less for transcendence and more for presence: showing up when it's difficult, tolerating the other's realness, allowing yourself to be changed by sustained contact with another human being.
