Dear You Who Said "It's Okay" Too Many Times,
#TheSearchForLove
You thought love meant endurance.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFUNqeOonY
That to be chosen, you had to tolerate the things that hurt.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9kzRLfOAI
That staying quiet, staying soft, staying "understanding"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM5EEFDwr3
would make them stay too.
You weren't weak for forgiving them.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe0A68ksNe
You were just hungry for love.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfNE38cO29
And they knew it.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME1GysvquP
They fed off that hunger,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKMkA3jgnP
taking more than they ever gave back.
Each time you said "I'm okay,"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzx4cJEHB4
you swallowed a truth that should've been spoken.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OdfelvXJZ
Each time you forgave without receiving even a hint of remorse,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fBaBqsNcA
you abandoned a part of yourself367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckVCdQ8fMu
just to be seen, just to be kept.
But real love doesn't ask you to bleed367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1xTb5RcLE
to earn someone's warmth.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioUESYEcxe
It doesn't demand your silence367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUc3GS8fdq
just to keep the peace.
You weren't dramatic.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQIctdutu0
You weren't too much.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnGHPnrf5b
You were just a girl who wanted to be loved the right way367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKVyQFyUP6
but didn't yet know what the right way looked like.
Let me tell you now:367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1omYiRl9p
Love doesn't make you choose between being respected367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQoKjO6HhP
and being held.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgyPtLjPez
It doesn't turn your softness into a weapon against you.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRbxBIH1eo
It doesn't make you feel guilty for hurting.
You can forgive, yes—367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBFUhobADv
but not at the cost of losing yourself.
The girl who kept giving chances...367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEOqSP57oX
She didn't fail.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPiaehMa6I
She just hadn't learned yet367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrByF78Zs9
that being loved shouldn't feel like begging.
I see you.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamlJUuoFvR
And I want you to know—367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vYIn1vvL6
you never had to try that hard to be worthy.
You always were.
With all the love you deserved back then,367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbia3ArSBP
