I don’t know how to stay close to you

I don’t know how to stay emotionally close to you when I can’t freely love you, but one thing I do know is I want you. You’re special to me in every way. I want to love you and all your flaws. Your flaws won’t push me away because I genuinely feel love for you. You’re all I ever wanted in a woman. Every quality that you have is special. I don’t know how to approach the situation without hurting us both.

Trust me, I melt around you; I just don’t show it. I don’t like being vulnerable, but something about you makes me soften. I love when we make eye contact. Your eyes soften, and the shape of them is so beautiful. In the beginning, I used to wish for you to look me in the eyes; now you do it, and I get nervous every time. Eye contact is very powerful because they don’t lie. What do you see when you look into my eyes? Can you tell that I’m in love with you? I know sometimes I look away fast, but it’s because your eyes are intense.

I don’t know if we will ever be together, but I do know that you will always be special to me. I think I will love you forever because you showed me how deeply I can love. You made me feel special, and being around you is a blessing that I never want to lose. I will forever be grateful to have met someone as amazing as you. The thought of ever losing you makes my eyes water. I need to confess my feelings for you in person; I just don’t know how. We’ve both been so patient with each other, but one of us has to take the risk. I want you to know how special you are.

I’m not ready to let her go

I still want you so badly, but I can’t show it anymore.

I still crave you.
I still love being around you.

Everything about you is perfect except that you’re not mine. I try to act like I’m unbothered by your presence, but inside I have a soft spot for you. I care for you more than you will ever know. I love your eyes. You look at me so softly, then look away shyly. I can tell that you care about me. You probably care about me more than I’ll ever know too. I wish there was a way for us to talk about our feelings without hurting others. I just want you. I can’t even look at other women the same without comparing them to you. If I can’t have you, I hope that god brings me someone like you. I look for you in everyone. You make me smile every time I see you. It seems like you like my smile because you’ll do things to make me smile. I don’t know how this will end between us, but all I know is I’m not ready for an end. It will truly crush my heart to let you go, sweetheart.

All my love is for you

You’re everything I ever wanted, but I can’t fully have you. So what am I supposed to do with all this love I have for you? Please tell me.
I love being around you. That’s why I always come around. You matter to me more than you’ll ever know. As I’m writing this, I’m getting tears in my eyes not because I’m hurt, but because the love is so deep it overflows. It’s not sadness. It’s just how much you mean to me. I never wanted to move on from you. I’m still living my life, still growing, still finding joy, but a part of my heart wishes I could have you fully in it. You are beautiful to me in a way I can’t really explain. You’re like a princess soft, rare, and unforgettable.

AIO for blocking my friend after he kept criticizing me and wouldn’t leave me alone?

I recently told a friend that I bought a Mustang, which was a big deal for me. Instead of really congratulating me, his reaction felt dry and negative. He immediately asked how much it cost, brought up whether Mustangs are dangerous, criticized another car I said I liked, and randomly said he wasn’t jealous even though I hadn’t accused him of being jealous. For context, he has admitted being jealous of me before.

Not long after that, we got into an argument about music. He said Tory Lanez’s voice was terrible, said he didn’t understand why anyone would like him, and kept criticizing my music taste. I told him multiple times that I didn’t care if he disliked the artist, but I was tired of him constantly criticizing everything I liked.
The argument kept going, and I told him several times to leave me alone and stop talking to me. Instead, he continued messaging, called me “manosphere,” said I had weird standards for women, and started making personal attacks about my character. I eventually got extremely angry and insulted him back, including making comments about his dating life. I know some of what I said was harsh.

The deeper issue is that I’ve felt for a while that he doesn’t support me, criticizes my interests, and mainly comes to me when he wants advice or help. I ended up blocking him, and I plan to keep him blocked.

AIO for getting that angry and blocking him? Was I justified in ending the friendship, even though I also crossed the line with some of my responses?

The only one I see

You’ve captured my heart completely. I can’t help but dwell on your smile. It’s one of my favorite things about you because it instantly brightens my day and warms my chest. I’m incredibly drawn to you, and every time I see you, it feels like you’re the only person in the room. Honestly, you’re the only one I notice when there are many others around. My heart is completely attached to you. I wish you were mine, though I know this isn’t our time. If it’s meant to be, perhaps fate will allow us to be together when the time is right. I dream of you every night and yearn to hold you. Your hands would fit perfectly in mine. Everything about you is so precious. I can feel a tingling sensation in my chest whenever I’m in your presence. I wish I had more time to spend with you. While I don’t enjoy being around people, I crave your company. There’s something truly rare and special about you.

Am I your baby?

Am I your baby?

Probably not.

But I wish I was.

Today I miss you, and I feel kind of blue. My feelings are overflowing, and I could write so many letters to you because one never feels like enough.

I have never been in love like this.

I thought I knew what love felt like before, but you changed that. You erased the memory of past lovers so completely that none of them even feel close anymore.

Is it weird that I love you?

Maybe it is.

But I cannot control what my heart feels.
It is easy for people to tell me to move on, but they do not understand that moving on is the hardest part. It is hard to move on from someone who makes you feel alive and nervous at the same time. It is hard to turn your feelings off just because someone belongs to somebody else.
And maybe this sounds selfish, but I wish life had let me meet you before your heart already belonged somewhere else.

My favorite part of you is your softness.

Your gentle nature.
Your quiet care.
Your soft feminine energy.

That is one of the reasons I fell in love with you.
Not just because you are beautiful, but because being around you makes something in me feel safe, awake, and tender all at once.

To the woman I can’t have but still want

You are beautiful, love.

Not just your face, not just the way you looked that day, but the quiet parts of you too. Your gentleness. Your care. The way you carry yourself like you don’t even know how much light you give off.

Our situation is not perfect. Maybe that’s what makes it ache so much. I can feel something between us, but I can also feel the wall we cannot cross.

I finally found the courage to tell you one small thing I had been holding in, and your reaction stayed with me. It told me that maybe I’m not the only one who feels the softness here.

I don’t want to be selfish. I just wish I could love you in a world where it didn’t hurt anybody.
For now, maybe I’m only meant to remind you that you are seen. That you are beautiful. That someone notices the little things.

And maybe you’re meant to remind me that my heart can still be brave, even when it has to be quiet.

Your Touch Is My Medicine

What would I do without your touch?

I literally need it and crave it more than you know. Your touch is my medicine. It’s mesmerizing to feel you close to me. I can’t be without it for too long, or I start having withdrawals from you.

What did you do to me?

I was perfectly fine before I felt your touch for the first time. Now I’m attached to you in a way I never expected. I’ve never been the touchy-feely type, but something about you makes me want to be. I’ve never been an expressive person either, but I could write about you for hours.
My feelings for you are so deep.

You make me want to grow as a person. I noticed that you seem to like when I wear clean, casual fits instead of the graphic tees I used to wear, so I invested in more sharper clothes. For you, I changed, not because you forced me to, but because something about you makes me want to become greater than I am.

You bring out my protective, masculine energy. Your softness makes me want to protect you.

I can’t wait until the day we both stop pretending we mean nothing to each other.

I dream of you

To you,

Every time I leave, I count down the days until I can see you again. I would do anything just to see your smile. Every night, I dream of you. Sometimes, dreaming of you is the only thing that helps me fall asleep. I dream about touching you, kissing you, running my fingers through your hair, tasting you, and simply admiring you.

I crave to hear your voice. It’s my favorite sound — soft and sweet. I don’t want ordinary love; I want passionate love with you and only you. If we were together, you wouldn’t have to ask to kiss me. You could just do it, because I crave you so much.
You deserve to feel how much I love you, but I’m afraid to tell you. Whatever your heart desires, I want to give it to you. You feel like home to me, and when I’m not around, I feel homesick.
Please don’t ever doubt my love for you.

The only one in the room

The only one in the room

I wonder what runs through your mind when you see me. I can tell you exactly what runs through mine — everything else just stops, and you’re the only thing left in the room.

A million people could be standing there and I still wouldn’t notice a single one of them, just you. My skin warms, tingles, gives me away before I even open my mouth. My heart picks up speed, and I know it shows — you must see it in my eyes, the way I feel something I can’t quite hide.

Everything about you pulls me in. The way you smile softens me. Your hair catches the light like it knows what it’s doing. And your soul — that’s the part I can’t stop thinking about. You mean more to me than I know how to say, and I wish we talked every single day. I want to know what you think, what you believe, what makes you tilt your head when you’re considering something.

I’d spend the whole day just existing near you if you let me. Phone down, world quiet, just you. I’d rub your feet while we watched something forgettable after a long day — not romantic, just ours. I’d be devoted in so many ways, the kind that don’t photograph well but mean everything.

There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t hand you. With me, the world opens up, and you’d be the center of mine. I’m already counting down to the next time I see you. And somehow, every time, my nerves act like it’s the first time all over again. I adore you. I want to take care of you in every way I’m capable of.
