Sometimes, we meet someone who feels like everything we’ve ever wanted—someone who lights up our world in ways we didn’t know possible. But as much as we might wish for it, the truth is, just because we feel something strong doesn’t mean they owe us the same in return.
Love is never a guarantee, and neither are shared feelings. I’ve realized that holding onto someone who doesn’t feel the same only leaves us feeling emptier, like waiting at a door that will never open. It hurts, but it’s also a reminder that love, at its best, is never something we can force.
We’ve all been there, liking someone who sees us differently or not at all. Maybe it’s that person who only wants to keep things casual, or the one who treats us kindly but doesn’t see us in that light.
We find ourselves caught in the space between hope and acceptance, learning that while we can’t control their heart, we can control our own. So, we let go—not because we stop caring, but because we finally respect their choice, just as much as we wish for someone who truly chooses us.
Eventually we need to be at peace with their decision and find peace within our soul.
