Maybe this all happened bc I wanted love.

(Don't we all?)

We all crave connection and to be understood.

I wasn't desperate.

But I wanted so desperately to be

   heard

       seen

           understood

                 acknowledged

                          appreciated

And you gave all that.

This didn't happen because I was lacking something and you could

I wasn't empty.
I didnt need anyone to fix me.
I want lonely.
I wasn't hurt.
I didn't need a distraction.
I didn't need a replacement.

I just

I loved the way you would spend hours listening to me, and it seemed like you went though similar things, making me feel understood.
I loved the way you would embrace me and allow me to be and love fierce.
I loved that you considered me as a person, a friend, not just a somebody that you know.

I wasn't desperate.
You didn't replace or fix or distract.

                                                    You.
                                You existed.
                                                   And I happened to get to know you and         experienced your essence.
