After leaving me on read for a while, I had a dream that my crush sent me a voice note out of the blue.
I saw the audio length and felt a twinge of disappointment. I wish it were longer. I wish he would talk to me more. I wish I could hear his voice more. When I hit play, his voice was quiet, sounded down. Maybe had cried recently.
He said he hadn't been able to respond to me because he didn't know how to accept all the love I give him. That he doesn't want to just receive when he can't return it. There was a long pause of silence and then he ended it with "... sorry."
I know he doesn't return my feelings or anything close, I already knew that. But to hear that he doesn't want what I give either, hurt something different. The 'sorry' didn't soothe anything for me, it felt more like an expression of guilt and spoken for his sake more than mine. He feels sorry for himself, he beats himself up over it, but there's no comfort in it for me.
