You're the reason why my life feels so perfect yet it isn't. I stopped dating like 3 years ago. The reason wasn't about hating guys or something like that and it wasn't really about getting my heart shattered. Actually, it felt like it was the other way around. To simply put it into words, I'm afraid I might hurt them instead. I somehow realized that love can be important to others as how it is to me. You enjoy the feeling of having long night calls, fun dates, cheesy lines, sweet messages, etc. But at one point, you'll know it is not just about the fun of it. My love for different things and different people have different reasons and all have the same warmth it gives me. But I know to myself I shouldn't choose between someone and my goals as a priority. I'm afraid that I wouldn't be there at times when they need me the most and for us to be hurt for the same reason is something I can't handle. When people let go of me, I let them. I don't say what I always wanted to say anymore because how can I stop a heart that fell out of love in the first place? Love can't be forced, it genuinely needs to be felt by the heart.
