Yours Always by ~Od-69one:iconOd-69one:

Categories Literature > Prose > Non-Fiction > General Non-Fiction


Hello My Love,

There are those who have experiences in life that make it difficult to feel and impossible to love.  I should know I am one.  it is difficult to move beyond our childhood experiences it is frightening to go beyond that which we do not understand.

But if you can't love yourself, then how can you ever love another?

Please understand, that in order to give love you must understand love.  In order to get love you must know love.

I don't understand what love is.  We have travelled through life and we build attachments to things and people and places.  But do we truly love any of this?

I am the way I am because this is what life has taught me.  I am what I am because this is how I learned to be.

Please forgive life for treating me so cruel.  

But don't pity me for being who I am.

I am me.

I had to let someone close to me go because she couldn't understand how I felt about her... we're still friends though. Anyway, that kind of pertains to this letter... I think.

Life does unfortunately teach us sometimes to be fearful of love, and to question whether or not we do or can love. I know where your coming from I think the hardest thing is to trust the people to love us, to allow them to love us. I think for me I have to learn to realize that it may not be forever and it can hurt. And excepting that I will or may be hurt is hard to swallow.

Something I learned recently is that we hide ourselves and only a very select and special few see us for who we really are inside.

And it is very nice when they do and when we allow them to. Not having to hide to those people make them extremely important people in our lives.

The only question is who do you trust with your soul? who do you let in?

Oh you got me there, so hard to do this. I am experiencing that right now, the wanting to love, the feeling the persons soul, and fighting it because of fear every step of the way. So I guess I am not the one to ask.
