Don’t Stop Loving Them!
This may sound a little complicated, but hear me out. Love is yours and yours alone. It does not take someone else to experience the love you have in your life. The way you can prove that it is yours alone is that you never stop loving someone who dies. Just because someone dies doesn’t mean you love them any less. So where is that love coming from? It’s coming from you.
When someone stops caring for you, for whatever reason, they have built a barrier around their love that keeps you out. Usually it is done with intention and while it has the benefit of keeping you out, it also prevents them from experiencing the joy that love provides. When you force someone out of your life, you block yourself from being in touch with the love inside you.
So don’t do that to yourself. If anythying, feel compassion for them knowing that you still love them, but you are smart enough not to let them hurt you. You don’t have to stop loving anyone just because they shut you out. You just have to use your mind to ensure that you are safe and free to experience the love you have in your heart.
Be greatful that you are able to love someone—not everyone gets that. Understand that relationship is not love and while you cannot have a relationship with this person, it doesn’t change the fact that the love you have is there. Draw strength from it and don’t close yourself off to it.
All the advice I have read so far instructs you to protect yourself—which is good. But part of protecting yourself is ensuring your continued access to the love in your heart. Situations happen that prevent you from “sharing” your love, but don’t just bury your heart or build scar tissue that prevents you from loving someone else.
Once you hold on to the love you have, the pain will go away and you will be healthier and stronger because of it. Shut everything down and push him out and you will be weaker when the pain subsides. Love is never dependent on another person—it’s yours and it can inform your every decision if you let it.
