Love her the way you crave to be loved

To her past,

I see you replay the worst scenes of her life
over and over, trying to convince her that
she is less than good.

Listen to me, I will love her until you
become a memory faded;
until your words are without sound and
empty to her ears.

I will love her until you no longer get the
best of her, until you are nothing to her

What good are flowers without water?

What good are promises without actions?

You are more
than worthy of love.

However,
you will never be
worthy enough
to someone
who isn’t worthy
of your love

You deserve
to be with
someone
who searches
for the beautiful
things in you.

Her broken heart is searching
for a new reason to love again
more than it is trying to find
a hand that will help it
get back together.

It knows eventually
it’ll become whole again, but it must
have the hope that once lived at the center
of it to be there before it is restored

If you thirst
for a love that
will drown all of the doubts
growing in your soul
and the fear vacationing in your mind,

You must never settle
for someone who lacks passion
in their eyes when they stare at you.

Do not judge
her by her past.

She is still having
dialogues with that
version of herself,
trying to figure out
what the heck
was wrong with her then.

Do not condemn her,
she already struggles to forgive herself.

She did not choose
to be alone;

she simply chose
to love herself more,
and that required her
to be the love of her own life,
until someone
comes to fulfill that position

but you do owe yourself an apology
if a better version of you
does not come alive in long periods of time.

You are meant to grow and evolve.
