Empaths love differently.
They are not capable of seeing love as transient.They do not understand how love can change or disappear altogether.

For an empath, love is sacred, and love is eternal.
They cannot conceive of love being a matter of here-and-nowness.
For empaths,love is always transcendent,and what is transcendent will always be eternal.
To empaths, love is an unshakable bond that cant be replaced or mimicked or undone.
And when it comes to love, this is magnified.
Empaths love between infinite bounds.
And so, it is no mystery why empaths are completely destroyed by the very thing they are.
They cant rationalize loss.
Empaths are far too fragile for love.
Even the sweetest kind poisons them.They cant handle the ecstasy of it or the horror of it.
And of course, no one would ever know the way love consumes them.
To others, empaths are far too independent, far too aloof, far too ethereal.
They think empaths dont need love.
Intuitively, this is clear to empaths.
They know love overtakes them, and they are always filled to the brim with it.
Empaths are filled with love by seeing every leaf on every tree, every smile on a passing face.
Empaths are terrified of love.And so, they insist on independence, and they end up alone.
Alone shouldnt be a dirty word for empaths.
An empath alone is an empath who has a chance of surviving in their hyper-intuitive world.
