Previously I believed that
love
Either didn't exist or wasn't for me
Sharing your body with another person
Is a single facet of
intimacy
I knew I was in love with him
The moment his happiness
And wellbeing became
Healthy and realistic goals of mine
I did my thing, he did his
Joys in his life lifted me
His
pain
felt greater than my own
I could give more than I took
My perspective changed
When I realized he needed distance
I left him alone.
Eventually I was able to let him go
Because I was adding to his life
By stepping away
I started dating other guys
But
none of them
were him.
I wasn't looking for
love
The day I reconnected with someone I knew
I was there for a legitimate reason
His questions kept me there
Longer than I would have stayed
Since I was exhausted
Both physically and emotionally
Meeting
him
made me want to change
I had new motivation
A greater desire to take better care of me.
We hugged when I was in Vegas
I have a great deal of respect for him
He's quiet, introverted, sensitive, intelligent
I tried flirting with him
He sent me the heart emoji
After I confessed that he was my Twitter crush
Now I feel incredibly guilty
Because I love him.
I despise myself for
using
him
To try and get over someone else.
Wanting and loving someone
Is different than needing them.
If you're unsure
Or can't figure out
Whether or not you're in love
You're asking the wrong
Questions???
When you love someone
There is no room for doubt.
It isn't a feeling
Although emotions are involved
Their happiness becomes yours
It's very hard to explain
You will find yourself stepping outside
And away from what you thought you wanted
You'll still be you
Your devotion will be obvious
And you won't mind
You'll lose yourself to another
Only to find who you really were all along
.
Love should not be routine habitual bliss
And Still, My Breath Catches

The weight has been lifted
just because they never bothered to really do
Killing Me Softly
Just when you get really good at something, you don't need to do it any more
