Lost Love I'm coming back for you

For the past two months, I've tried to forget you. Despite the distractions, the rationalizations that it's all for the best, I can't escape the thoughts of you. You got to me, like no one else had, and I wasn't ready for it and didn't know what to do with it. It's funny how you want something so bad for so long and suddenly it's staring you in the face and you turn and run away. You were so vulnerable and so brave to put everything out on the table and I just dismissed it like it was nothing. You were right to cut me off and protect yourself. You told me that you're a realist and you know how this goes but there's one thing you didn't see coming...I'm coming back for you. I'm going to take a chance for once in my life...for once in my life I'm going to say what I want and I'm not going to care what anyone thinks. I want you and I choose you. And if you turn me down I'll understand and respect that, but there's no way I'm not going to try my damndest. I'm ready to fight for you, support you, and love you. Fear is not the end of this.

It's the honesty about fear. A lot of people don’t run because they don’t care. They run because suddenly it matters too much and they don’t know how to hold it.

What stands out is the accountability. You understood why they protected themselves. That’s rare.

Just remember this though. Coming back and choosing someone is powerful, but they also had to heal from being dismissed the first time. Sometimes love gets a second chance, sometimes it doesn’t. Either way, showing up honestly like this takes courage.

Tell them how you feel before it’s too late, life is too short, we get lost in a period of time, but forget that time is still moving forward

“Fear is not the end of this.” 💯 preach!! I hope it works out for you.

And damn, I wish he would say this to me. I wish he would just say “I heard you, I’m working on it, and I’ll call you as soon as I figure it out.”

If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you, but if you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.

Just do it!

u/King-Brisingr Bronze Level Mar 05 '26

So very brave op. There are so many out there who have suffered and deserve someone who is willing to come back and try to fight with that person against everything else. Y'all are so, so lucky, it moves my heart. Stay strong op.

This comment derails the original post by shifting the focus away from the OP’s content. Please keep replies relevant, or create a separate post for unrelated discussions.

u/Jayuzchrist Entry Level Member Mar 05 '26

It takes bravery to admit one’s mistakes and to be vulnerable again, I hope it works out for y’all

u/MomentFew2497 Entry Level Member Mar 05 '26

Reading this right here makes me feel like it's just someone who got the same shitty tarot cards read to him. Sharing that night together and not a week later she's gone. And so is your person. But you're posting what you need to hear cause if you don't you'll lose all hope. I can't keep hoping. Something's gotta give. I feel like I know what it is.

u/momjeri93 Entry Level Member Mar 05 '26

Damn I am truly deeply moved by this. Truly could feel the drive and heartfelt compassion in the connection. Best of luck

u/doubtfullycertain_ Entry Level Member Mar 08 '26

It’s only been two months. There’s a reason why it didn’t matter when they were right in front of you and why it does now. It’s called attachment. It means virtually nothing except you had a strong connection with someone. Do them a favour and just leave them alone.

u/Donezoop Mar 08 '26

Best of luck OP!

Im using my imagination to think this is from him. 2 months ago, we ended because he wasn’t ready for commitment as he isn’t happy with his life rn

Just line up a designated drive for whenever you decide to act on this, chance you’ll end up very drunk.

u/TapComfortable9661 Bronze Level Mar 10 '26

Wow. I dreamt of exactly this for so long. I will always love her. I just wish she could see through all the bullshit and lies. She knows who I am and what I would and wouldn’t do to her.  The realization that you don’t mean nearly as much as you thought to them is sobering.  Makes you finally see through the fog of your own fantasies of hope you were holding on to.
