You give and you give.
And you wait for a drop of love to receive to nourish you to keep going.
It keeps you going for a few moments.

Your heart is tired.
I know it is.
Let me hold your hand here for a moment.
I know what its like.
You give and you give.
And you wait for a drop of love to receive to nourish you to keep going.
It keeps you going for a few moments.
But soon enough, youre drained again.
You find yourself wondering why he cant prioritize you or love you the way you love him.
So you give him more.
Maybe this time hell appreciate it.
Maybe itll encourage him to give more back.
When you give, you are living out your heart because its what you know how to do.
And you have to know how beautiful that is.
It is not weak that you text him.
But it doesnt, does it?
Being empty drives us to text more, to seem crazy.
But you are not crazy, my love.
Dont let anyone put negative words to your aching spirit.
You dont feel safe in your heart.
Hoping that the time you put in wont go to waste.
So you shrink, dont you?
You compromise values you didnt ever want to.
You silence your heart because being alone sounds too scary.
You wait to be seen, throwing your heart to the wind and hoping it carries you.
I know every single heartache there is around trying to make someone understand you, when they never will.
I know the compromises you make.
Because Ive made them.
Ive shrunk my voice.
Ive given too much.
Ive left my soul at the door so I can feel a warm body next to me at night.
Ive realized that love is not inspiring me.
It isnt even a friend.
It is a mood stabilizer.
And at some point, you break.
No, youve broken before.
This key in of breaking is tearless.
It feels like the loss of self.
I want you to know you arent lost.
You know who you are.
Because you are the most caring person in the world.
You crave for someone to hold your heart and look into your eyes and see you in your entirety.
And it is when you realize this, you know.
You know the pop in of love you need.
Because you are that jot down of love.
Without you, you wouldnt know what love was.
You live it daily.
Love is not always fluttering honeymoon feelings, and love can be work.
But love comes back to you with warm hands and kind eyes.
It comes back the way you have felt it, because you know it from yourself.
How long should you stay?
Until the moment you realize that the way you love is beautiful, and it should be completely seen.
Because you see it.
