One-Sided Love Isn't Enough

I really wanted this to work. I tried, I stayed, I communicated.

But it slowly became clear that I was the only one putting in effort. I can’t keep loving

alone. I want someone who chooses me, who shows up, who takes care of

me and makes sure we’re okay. Someone who doesn’t disappear when things get hard,

and who actually tries to fix what went wrong so it doesn’t happen again. I want to be loved

gently, intentionally, and consistently. You knew how I wanted to be seen and heard,

yet you still acted like you didn’t know. You said you loved me,

but your actions never matched your words. You were only there on good days,
