Every Single Time
I just want to be loved the way that I love others.
That's all.
Is that too much to ask for?
I guess it is.
I just want to be loved gently the way that I love others.
I want to be understood.
I want to be loved with patience.
I want people to be gentle with my heart and my feelings as well as I am with theirs.
I don't think people have the same heart as me, neither do I treat them that way.
But I just hoped that people could have the same respect for me that I do for them.
I hoped people could love me the same way that I love them.
But they're not me.
And that's what hurts.
They don't have a heart like mine.
They don't have a love like mine.
And coming to this realization hurts me all over again every single time. -J.S.
