-Unknown
"...and you were just like the moon, so lonely, so full of imperfections - but just like the moon, you shined in times of darkness." -Unknown That last part isn't true for me. I'm always looking back. How could I not? When I give, I'm all in - "all in" isn't based on anything other than my own feelings and exactly what I have control over. "All in" is allowing myself to fall so hard that they could love someone else, and I would still be there - or if the love is unrequited. I believe that this Rob person is holding the respect he deserves, and that is something else. We always look back, Rob. If you're really "all in" - we, the people who love deeply, but also know how to love ourselves just as well - we always look back; because people like us, have to always remind ourselves of why we left. It's easy to get caught up in the romantic fantasies that we create in our heads, so very easy to believe in something that we want to see rather than what is really there. The rational want to believe in fairytales, and sometimes our dreams get the best of us; but then our mind sets us straight and we respect who we are, just as we always have. Doesn't mean we don't indulge every once in a while. We are the ones that have to look back; because loving someone so fully isn't about walking away and never looking back, its not about running away or forgetting - its about respecting them as a human being, and really, we'll just be happy that they're happy, and hope that we can feel, again, as overwhelmed with love as when we were with them.
