What i miss most is how you loved me. but what i didn't know was how you loved me had so much to do with the person I was. it was a reflection of everything I gave to you. coming back to me. how did I not see that. how. did i sit here soaking in the idea that no one else would love me that way. when it was i that taught you. when it was i that showed you how to fill. the way i needed to be filled. how cruel i was to myself. giving you credit for my warmth simply because you had felt it. thinking it was you who gave me strength. wit. beauty. simply because you recognized it. as if i was already not these things before I met you. as if i did not remain these once you left.

About This Quote

In this quote, the speaker is questioning her own ability to love. She compares her love for the woman to a reflection of what she gave to her. The speaker recognizes that she is not really good at loving. She is unable to feel the warmth of another’s affection without also feeling a sense of her own worthiness.

The speaker’s ability to love relies on the other person’s recognition of her worthiness. This was a small selection from my blog. I really want this blog to grow and expand, so please send me any suggestions, ideas, and questions you may have!
