The reality is, you've never been given a chance to be soft. To relax. To relinquish. From the very beginning, you were forced into a role that demanded you be in control. And though you flourish as a leader, you desire something other than sovereignty. You've always been the one who was relied upon, yet rarely had anyone to rely on. And oh, how sweet it would be to just float. To just drift and flow and feel the freedom of getting lost in someone you trust. To sink into the embracing arms of someone unwavering. Someone so fiercely loyal that when you look in their eyes you see an unbreakable bond. You deserve an energy equal to your own. Someone whose ambition and drive rises to meet you exactly where you are. Where you've always been. For so long you've carried the weight of unmet promises that turned into burdens. This is not your fault. Look how far you've come. It's easier to walk these roads alone than it is to drag someone along. All you ever ask for in return are the very same things you give away freely. Stop excusing your expectations. You deserve reciprocation.
