Dear Heart,

Hello, love.

I know you're going through a lot right now.

You thought he was the one. He helped you feel safe, feel loved, feel wanted, feel needed, feel okay. Then all of a sudden, the universe stepped in a tore you two apart. And that left you shaken, lonely, and broken. At least... it made you believe that you were lonely and broken.

My beloved heart, you can never be lonely, for you have the company of me. And, I am the most committed lover you will ever have. I will never leave you like he did. I will never abandon myself like he did. And, even though you feel broken, you were never broken in the first place. You've been whole all along. He just made you feel like you weren't. When he left, it made you confused. Because... my heart, you are still beating - without him. And this is living evidence that you are not broken. Perhaps this feeling of brokenness is you still learning to grasp your wholeness.

Just because he left doesn't mean that you are not whole.

Just because you no longer sense love from him doesn't mean that you should deny yourself love.

Just because you no longer have his arms around you doesn't mean you need to stray away from having your own arms around yourself.

Just because you feel like he doesn't care doesn't mean that you have to believe that no one cares about you, including yourself.

Don't you see?

Love is FAR more than one person.

It is FAR more than just romance. There is so much more love for you than a temporary relationship that faded away. There is love from your family, friends, strangers, and this universe.

Love is stronger than a boy who left. Just because he broke your faith in him doesn't mean that you need to lose your faith in love. Perhaps him leaving was intervention from the universe because your destiny is far bigger and beautiful than your destiny could've ever been with him. Perhaps your future lover has more to offer you than he ever did than he ever could.

And, I feel you resisting the idea that there is another lover out there. And I understand why. You believed your past lover was all there was to life. But I promise you, there is so much more to life than him. There is so much more to life than the boy who left you. For, even though he left you, I am staying. I am right here. And I am not EVER planning to leave.

Don't forget your strength. You never needed him in the first place. You never needed a boy to feel happy. All you needed was yourself.

I love you. I see you. And I am here for you.

One day, my heart, you will dance again. You will beat more excitedly to the rhythm of life. You will experience joy, unlike anything you've ever experienced before. And, you will look at love and realize it never left you. It has always been within you.
