Anna Lee shared a letter in the
Chasing Your Dreams group 8 months, 1 weeks ago Why can't I love this man?
Anna M. LeeWhy can’t I love him?
He makes me all tingly in the morning leaving me begging for more.
Why can’t I love him?
His Cheshier smiles draw me in and hypnotizes me.
Why can’t I love the way he kisses me?
As if my kisses alone are the fountains of youth to my soul.
Why can’t I love the way he speaks?
With that accent that leaves me like putty in his hands.
Why can’t I love the way he cuddles me in his arms?
He shields me from the world.
Why can’t I love the way he laughs?
His laugh Ignites a spark in my heart that brings me pure joy.
Why can’t I love the way he takes care of me?
He makes me feel safe for the first time in a decade.
Now tell me why I can’t love this man.
Whoaaa this is beautiful 🤩 I love your imagery and depth to each obstacle you face with loving him. Could it be past trauma? Not knowing how to love someone in a healthy manner? Still learning to love yourself? Whatever it is, I hope you find it💛

Thank you ashley9393! You are absolutely right on point! It is super difficult to trust people after you have been hurt, but what I feel is more difficult is allowing yourself to love again. The person inside of you questioning every little thing someone else does is exhausting to say the least, but we are overcomers, and we can love again. Agreeing with the fact we deserve to be loved in the right way is the first step to loving others!

Anna, this poem perfectly describes the complexity of relationships. Someone can be perfect on paper, but their presence just doesn’t sit right with you. Sometimes it’s not all about the perfect qualities people have. You never know when that could go away. Focus on how this person makes you feel! If you don’t feel a strong connection, don’t push it. You deserve better. I’m here to talk if you need it!

You are so right Harper! Especially after being in an abusive relationship or any relationship for that matter. It can be very difficult to see with eyes wide open or sometimes we are so closed off to our feeling that we refuse to see the good in others. Leaving us to constantly battles ourselves. I am slowly getting back to trusting others and seeing that there are good people in this world. I am grateful for this platform and to be able to share my thoughts and feelings with you all. Thank you for your beautiful words and seeing me!
