Wow. True love, although that would not work for a sadist. But beautiful.

β€œBeautiful, but it wouldn’t work” is such a sadist answer 😜.... and maybe that’s the tragedy of it. To recognize tenderness as beautiful while still believing you could never survive inside it. ❀️🧐

Hmmmmm. I recognize both tenderness and pain. I am a compassionate sadist. I cannot fight what is inside me. I hurt, not harm. And I heal. she gives herself to Me because I can heal what was broken inside her by others, take what I need, but not damage her any further.

Don’t misunderstand! Your comment was absolutely perfect and made me smile because it’s exactly what he would say. And yet I’ll still make it my mission yo prove you both wrong 😝

Many have tried. All have failed. I have been doing this a very long time.

Obviously I like a challenge :)

I’m not a challenge. I am Me. One owner. Ever. I’m a good sharer, though.

I reckon sometimes someone can appear out of nowhere by design. If the design was for him to elevate her to something she's never experienced before, maybe showing her what a healthy love looks and feels like scares her and he realizes she is not ready and so maybe he runs feeling she's not ready to face what she knows to be true. He runs because at the same time he hurts inside just like she does, but he is not allowed to ignore the design as he would suffer harshly from the one who designs. Can he see the holistic picture? Can she? I think they do. Can she find the courage to allow him close enough to guide her towards healing? That's a personal choice that only she can make. So when he's running, he's not running away from her. He's running until she says, "Stop. I'm ready. Come and take my hand and show me the way." Maybe they're both running from the past and present. Does he love her? I imagine that's highly probable, but he, despite his power, might be so broken and unloved his entire life and ironically he has nothing left but love inside him. So he shares it. Maybe it's that complicated and that simple. Two different worlds collide to heal and bring balance. I hope whoever you wrote this for saw it, but sees all of you at the same time and understands the gravity of the race you have run. This is a very beautiful story and I hope the person it was written for appreciates the effort you made to write it. I think the words you've spoken would stay with him forever no matter if you two ever met or not. This is one of the best stories I've ever read. You did a wonderful job and I'm proud of you! Keep going. You have so much more in you to write and the world is better with your writing as a part of it. 🌎

Mourn for what could have been

Gentle praises when coming home from work.

Loving caresses to still the aches and pains

Caring arms to wrap around and gather to the soul.

Instead of cruel indifference and words not spoke at all.

Mourn for what could have been

chance meetings at the door, lips whisper thoughts

instead of cruel intentions just waiting for the fall.
