Loved right

 From Peaceofdeace

You didn't love them wrong.

You just loved someone who wasn't ready to be

loved right.

You gave fully.

You were patient.

You listened between the silences

and forgave things you never spoke about.

And still --

they pulled away.

Not because your love was flawed,

but because their wounds were louder than your

presence.

You tried to be their peace,

but they weren't done choosing chaos.

You tried to be their safe place,

but they weren't done running from themselves.

And I know that hurts.

Because when your love is real,

you believe it can heal.

But it's not your job

to fix what they won't face.

To carry what they keep dropping.

To break yourself

trying them make them whole.

You didn't mess this up.

They just weren't ready for the very thing

they said they were searching for.
