It’s Okay To Love Someone Who Doesn’t Feel The Same As You

Falling for someone who doesn’t feel the same…

Love doesn’t happen when you want it to happen. Sometimes love happens when you least expect it. And sometimes it chooses the worst possible person for you. It makes you fall for someone who cannot love you the same way that you love them.

And you do. You fall head over heels with this person even though there are flashing, red signs everywhere around you telling you that what you are doing is wrong. You let our emotions consume you and you no longer see anything other than that person. They become your entire world. The air that you breathe. The food that you eat. The sweetest, most addictive drug that you’ve ever tried.

You know that you will never be together the way you want to be. The way you’ve prayed for your whole life to be with someone. But you cannot stop your heart from feeling what it feels. You simply cannot tell your heart who to love. You are not strong enough to make the right choice because the love that you feel overpowers your mind.

You thought you are stronger than this but turned out… you aren’t. So, you are out there all alone, pitying yourself. Trying hard to let go of those feelings. Crying your soul out over the fact that you two are not destined to be together. Hating your guts forever falling in love with him.

People are looking at you with despise. They are judging you for being so naïve.

BUT, refuse to be one of them. Maybe it’s because I’ve already been through the same pain that you are experiencing. Maybe because I am not quick to judge. Especially not people with sadness in their eyes.

Because only you know how it feels. And only you know what you are going through.

It is okay to love someone who doesn’t feel the same way as you. It is fine to leave an open window of hope in case they ever change their mind. As long as you are ready to accept the consequences if they decide they want to leave you.

So, love them if that is what your heart wants. It’s okay. Don’t listen to what people have to say. It’s your life and your choice.

But just know that you can never force them to do anything against their will. Know that you might wake up tomorrow and realize that they’ve given up on you. Know that one day they may break your heart in a thousand pieces. Most importantly, know that if it ever comes to that, you are the only one who can get yourself out of that mess.
