Love

I’m constantly pouring too much love into people, draining myself, leaving me empty. I need to learn how to back out and not give too much, but instead I worry that I don’t show enough love. People who want me will stay here without me having to run behind them. I have people in my life who’ve shown me my worth and what a true friend looks like. I need to not swim across oceans for people who’ll complain they might get wet if they jump over a puddle. I need to understand where to draw the line and I need to learn my worth. I deserve to be loved back, I deserve to be put effort into. I’ve poured litres of love into people who’ve just left me with a drop of it in return.
