my heart is a fragile thing.
and i try to control it...but usually it ends up getting the better of me.
such as this past week.
the guy is working for my dad....and staying with me.
i've grown awfully fond of him.
i feel comfortable with him in a way that i never have been able to with anyone before.
however.
the past makes me sad.
this is a person i once gave my heart to. and as i've learned, once the heart is given away it is so very hard to take it back again....even when the person you've given it to doesn't want it any more.
now, i'm not sure this is the case with him....in fact i have no clue of his feelings towards me at all.
and i'm too scared to push the matter.
it would hurt horribly to be rejected by this person.
and the last conversation we had on the matter it was left that neither of us burns bridges and there might be something possible in the future.
well....the future is an awful long way away.
i miss being able to tell him how i feel.
i love him.
i care for him.
possibly to much?
is it wrong to love someone and receive very little in return?
i was taught that this is not wrong as a child but then recent things....such as the experience with my ex have taught me that you must look out for yourself.
i don't like looking out for myself.
i like being able to put myself out there and trust that things will work out.
but look how badly it turned out before.
i still don't know if h's gotten over me "choosing" my ex over him. ....which i never consciously did.....but i admit i was unhealthily attached to my ex for reasons i absolutely cannot explain.....
it doesn't make sense to me either and it makes me cry to think of it.
i'm sure it makes even less sense to this guy.....if that's even possible.
*shrug*
i love him.
comfortably.
that's all there is to it.
i just wish the feeling didn't hurt.
a couple nights before he left for the weekend (he's coming back for a week monday morning) i couldn't control the emotion.......
i was melancholy and a bit emotional.
i lit a bunch of candles cause that makes me feel better and was laying on my bed just watching the flames with tears running down my face. not crying hard or anything.....just....silently emotional.
he came in and wrapped himself around me wondering what was wrong.
i know he cares for me.
but i couldn't tell him what was wrong......cause being a guy ...and being him...he'll want to fix it.....but he can't without loving me.
and if he loves me he will......because he wants to....
not because he wants to fix my tears.
i wish i could love without wanting love in return.
i hate it that it hurts.
