Yes I Love, Love but….

4/14 Edited to

... Read moreLove can be an incredibly complex experience, especially when you’ve been hurt before and find it hard to trust again. I’ve always been someone who deeply cares but tends to overthink every interaction, fearing that vulnerability might lead to pain. This emotional hesitation often makes loving someone feel like a challenge rather than a joyful experience. From personal experience, I’ve learned that healing and patience are essential. When you’ve faced multiple disappointments, it’s natural to build walls around your heart. But over time, those walls can also trap you in loneliness and fear. What helped me is focusing on self-love and understanding that the right person—someone who truly values and respects you—won’t rush or pressure you. They will patiently show their love, regardless of your fears or doubts. It’s also important to acknowledge that feelings of insecurity or overthinking don’t mean you’re unlovable or destined to be alone. Many people share these feelings—and it’s okay to be vulnerable about them. Connecting with others who have similar experiences, whether through support groups or honest conversations, can provide comfort and encouragement. Remember, love often arrives unexpectedly. When you open your heart, even just a little, and allow yourself to trust again slowly, that’s when meaningful connections can form. Until then, be kind to yourself, heal at your own pace, and hold onto hope. The journey may be tough, but love’s arrival is worth the wait.

Do I think I deserve a second chance? I care for them... deeply... I want to love them... I do... But they might not even love me or trust me enough.. I want to be enough for them and myself..... But no matter how many times I try or ask.. Even serious conversations or my effort to help them... It's like I'm no longer needed and just... In the way... Love can sometimes form back a Fragmented Broken Soul... But can also destroy it.. Creating a Hollow Broken Vessel.. Who is gone.. I want them to trust me.. let me fix the past... Yet.. I know I can't.... But maybe if they can see.. just how much I care for them without overwhelming them... Our shattered Bond... Can finally reform.. I'll do anything.. Give space, time, even stop when they want me too.. Even if they forget about me or find a new lover... I only care about that Smile... I want them to stay happy.... I want them to be loved... Like how I once was able to do with them.. I will protect them.. Be their rock... Be the shoulder they lean on whenever things get tough or rocky... But I'm scared.. scared that if I tell them.. I'll give them a hard time or get an empty reply... I don't want to burden them... I want to make them happy and feel loved..
