Truth Hurts ... But Lies Can Kill
You cannot love someone into wanting you, desiring you, paying you any attention. Try to be strong for a change, uncomfortable with the process and the timing but accepting that the process is right. After all, if he wanted you, he would have chosen you. Called by now. Tried to make it work. Been more understanding. Kinder. Gentler with your feelings, your past, your desire for love and your explosiveness when it is denied to you because he isn't ready. Not prepared to cater to you. Hold you. Love your broken pieces and kiss your scars. In the same way you've catered to him: listened to him. Held him when he was cold. Rocked him to bed when he was lonely. The same way you held your light in his darkness. Willing. Unafraid. And ... all in.
