Whether it was you or moving onto someone new I was thinking about you
Even now I'm understanding more and more that because I'm ready to be in love I'm forgetting how platonic that can be and I'm going overboard.
I can't set expectations no one had any intention of meeting. It's not really fair.
I can tell some parts of me crave intimacy so much.
So I break away from that and realize there is something I haven't been addressing with myself.
I'm putting too much of myself into people I barely know and it's like I'm love bombing away hoping something is there in the aftermath and this fear of losing someone I don't know just sits there.
I don't know why it's been such a cycle to me.
And I can't explain why I've been so detached from others I've had sex with these past three years.
I've thought it superficial and all the mean body shamy aspects of it.
I can't be dismissive that there are some women I've ghosted because of those reasons. My communication was piss poor and rather than having the conversation of "hey sorry you're not for me" I'd just make stupid promises that I can never keep and never made an effort to keep.
And there have been others where I could see myself being with them but I just could never find myself on the same page as them. I was so ridiculous in how I was exploring dating and romantic feelings and figuring it out. But even with her it's only her ring I wear now. There was never a want to make you only mine. It never felt like there was any reason to be self conscious around her. She was love and a reason I wanted to get it right the next time it came around. I was too sex obsessed with her. But I promise I craved more than that. I just wasn't there yet and it's a regret of mine I didn't correct it sooner. It still stands I never lost my mind over you. Though you cross it from time to time.
So march comes around you were ignition. There's something about you I wish I could be a part of. I didn't know how to act around you and I'm sorry I hadn't been that social in a while. I still feel like an old man compared to you. It's so stupid of me. It makes me laugh. I'm so sorry for getting weird on you. It started as this great wave of emotions that actually did a lot of things for me. It sucked but not because of you. It was this onset of emotions that were triggered by past insecurities. And they were only projecting themselves there because of my expectations. I was being so ridiculous and while you're grieving and dealing with so much loss in your life. Seriously you should've slapped me. I would've accepted it wholeheartedly.
I feel like I'm just rambling
I'm putting too much stock into a week long interaction
I need to admit that investing into someone takes time and I was in the first stages of live bombing.
I realize an aspect of the way I felt was completely because of my expectations and the way I felt things were going.
Stupid love goggles, stupid brain, I've gotta stop.
Even now I'm over here having one great ass night with this chick and I've got a piece of her underwear in my wallet. Like I need to chill the fuck out but also I'm not putting myself in the expectation of this person wants to date me or has interest in dating me.
I know it for what it is.
The way I've always felt these things to be
Enjoying our time together when we can.
I don't do much. I don't get out much.
