I once knew someone who showed their love. Overflowing love that was too deep for me to swim in. I did love him. For other reasoning. My comfort in my darkest hours, a friendly face. The love for him was different. Wasn't the same. His love overcame the capacity I could hold. I was hurt and broken. Couldn't handle the love he was trying to give. How could you allow someone to love you to their fullest when you can't even love yourself. Everyday wishing you wouldn't wake so you can't see the disappointment in their face. His love was a ocean and I couldn't manage a wave. I was drowning, yet, he didn't notice because his love was coming in wave by wave. I need to be able to swim in still waters before I could handle a ocean. Never got the chance to give my explanation.
