To lay your soul bare, before the one you love, whether or not it is reciprocal, is a very beautiful thing. I’m sorry he doesn’t love you in the same manner, but it seems he still loves you.
I’m reminded of what the chemist/author O.A. Battista wrote : The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they’re still alive.
OUCH. Unfortunately I know first hand how that feels and I know we’re not the only ones who went through this :/ At least you didn’t lose a friend, tho.
That is sad. I like the brutality of the duality, to put it accidentally poetically. She knows it’s pointless to say, but deep down there was a bit of hope that has now been painfully ripped to shreds.
Oh, and I don’t know how this feels, cause I kept my chicken-sh&* mouth shut and my feelings to myself. If I had it all to do over again, I would have said more, hurt more, and chanced more.
