When you start healing from someone, the thoughts come like waves. You'll catch yourself thinking "I loved them more than I've ever loved anyone." "I didn't even know I was capable of loving someone that much." "And maybe. I'll never love like that again." But here's the truth you often forget that love didn't come from them. It came from you. You were already someone who could love deeply, endlessly, fearlessly. They didn't create that version of you they just witnessed it. You were the warmth, the softness, the steady heartbeat that kept showing up even when it hurt. They didn't give you the capacity to love they only gave you a place to pour it. And when they left, that love didn't disappear. It still lives in you, waiting for a safer home, a gentler soul, maybe even just your own heart. So don't give them the credit for how deeply you could love. That was always you. It is you. And one day, someone or maybe life itself will see that love, and hold it the way it always deserved.💫
