Maybe My Love Wasn't Enough Maybe my love wasn't enough. Not because I didn't give enough of it, but because love cannot make someone value what they are not ready to appreciate. I showed up, I stayed, I understood, I forgave, and I gave pieces of myself I can never get back. For a long time, I blamed myself. I wondered what I could have done differently, what I could have given more of, what part of me was missing. But maybe the truth is this: My love wasn't the problem. You simply could not receive what I was giving. And those are two very different things.
