I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved. Shana Abe
About This Quote

A person is willing to go through a lot for a love they truly believe in. In the line above, the speaker is saying that they want a relationship where their heart is safe from harm. They want a partner who will be there to comfort them when they are down. A kind soul is someone who would be there for a person in need, not just a casual lover with a shallow mind full of shiny things.

A steady hand means that one can trust that someone else will always have their back, no matter what happens. The last two lines of this quote speak about being loved and being loved back. When someone truly loves another person, the most important thing in the world to them is receiving love in return.
