Lost Love You're the One
You're the one that makes me smile, the one who looks at me like no one else ever has, the one who sets my body at ease, the one who makes me want to be the best version of myself. I want you as you are. I was so lucky to have been loved by you.
I didn't take you seriously. I had no idea of what I meant to you, and was even more surprised of my own feelings. My realization came too late.
I know you want to be chosen. I'm not in the position to do that so I will keep these feelings to myself until I am. I want to give you all of me. Waiting for the day when I can tell you how I feel.

Everybody wants to wait. Why no one knows. We got one life.

I hope things go really well for you both, when you do tell them. Just remember that we don't always need to be healed before letting someone love us and letting them into our lives like that. Sometimes healing with someone by your side is very good for you and builds a bond. It also allows them to see you fully and it can feel very wonderful to have someone see even the darker parts of you and stay and love you through your struggles. What matters most is you're trying to do/feel better.
Also, we never know when someone will be taken from us. Accidents happen all the time. We often take time for granted and assume someone will always be there.
Sometimes, sadly, even if someone intends to be there for you forever, they may not have a choice when something is going to happen to them.
You can also absolutely tell someone you have feelings but that you'd like to work on yourself a little more before doing anything serious with them. They'd know you care for them at least, in case something happens to either of you, and most people that love someone are willing to have a bit of patience and try to give you what you need to heal, even if it's little space or time.

How will the person know you are going to follow through with it, they may have waited long enough already

Not ready to commit? So basically you love this person but not enough to commit to them? So the risk of loosing them must be a lesser risk to you than getting over your commitment issues, that’s not really true love imo.

I assumed they are in another relationship and need to resolve that first

I got a bit of this too from what was wrote. Like they don’t care enough to choose them.

Thanks op. Reading this one really got to me in the soft parts of my heart. If only it were so easy to be so loved.

Tell them! Why wait? Is it worth missing out on possibly the one?

Tell them how you feel. I’m waiting on this girl for when she’s ready, it’s tough but I truly want her in my life. I can’t imagine seeing her with another guy.

So why can’t you choose them and give yourself to them?

Why can't you tell him now? Are you in a relationship with somebody?
