I Still Love You, But I Know We're Over

I want to talk about something that's been on my mind for a while now.

It's a feeling that's hard to put into words, but I'm going to try my best to express it.

You see, I've been in a situation where I still have strong feelings for someone, but deep down, I know that our relationship has run its course.

It's a painful to realize but it's one that I've come to accept.

And I'm guessing that I'm not alone in this feeling.

We've all been there at some point or another.

You're in a relationship that was once full of life, passion, and excitement, but over time, things start to fizzle out.

No matter how hard you try to bring the once-bright spark back to life, it simply doesn't burn as brightly.

You start to feel like you're just going through the motions, and the love that once brought you so much joy now feels like a burden.

Even though you know that the relationship is over, you still can't help but feel deep affection for the other person.

You remember the good times, the laughter, the adventures you shared, and the memories that you created together.

You think about the way they made you feel, the way they challenged you to be your best self, and the way they supported you through thick and thin.

It's a strange feeling, isn't it?

On the one hand, you know that the relationship is no longer sustainable and that it's time to move on and start a new chapter in your life.

It's like your heart is torn in two, with one part of you screaming to let go and the other part of you desperate to hold on.

I can tell you that it's not easy.

It's like you're stuck in limbo, unsure of what to do or how to feel.

You start to question your own emotions, wondering if you're just being selfish or if you're truly doing what's best for yourself and the other person.

You feel guilty for still having feelings for someone that you know you can't be with, and you worry about the potential consequences of staying in a relationship that's no longer working.

But the truth is, it's okay to feel this way.

It's okay to still love someone even if you know that the relationship is over.

It doesn't mean that you're not ready to move on or that you're not willing to let go.

It just means that your heart is still processing the emotions that you felt during the relationship and that it's going to take some time to heal.

So, what do you do when you're in this situation?

How do you deal with the complicated feelings that arise when you continue to love someone you know you can't be with?

For me, it's been about taking things one step at a time.

It's about being kind to myself and recognizing that it's okay to not be okay.

It's also about focusing on self-care and self-love.

When you're in a situation like this, it's easy to get caught up in negative thoughts and emotions.

You start to wonder if you're worthy of love, if you're good enough, or if you'll ever find someone who truly loves and accepts you for who you are.

But the truth is, you are enough.

You are worthy of love, and you deserve to be happy.

So, take the time to focus on yourself.

Do things that make you happy, surround yourself with people who love and support you, and practice self-compassion.

Remember that it's okay to not be okay and that it's okay to take things one step at a time.

And most importantly, remember that you will get through this.

You will heal, you will move on, and you will find love again.

It's funny, isn't it?

You assume that they'll always be there, that they'll always love you, and that the relationship will always be strong.

But when it's over, you're left with a deep appreciation for the time you had together and the love that you shared.

You come to understand that love is a priceless gift that ought to be treasured and valued, that relationships are short-lived, that nothing lasts forever, and that every moment matters.

I feel you.

And I want you to know that you're not alone.

It's okay to still love someone that you know you can't be with.

It's okay to feel the emotions that come with the end of a relationship.

And it's okay to take the time you need to heal and move on.

Remember, love is a journey, not a destination.

It's a journey of ups and downs, twists and turns, and highs and lows.

And sometimes, the hardest part of that journey is letting go of the love that you once shared with someone.

But it's in those moments of letting go that you'll find the strength to keep moving forward, to keep loving, and to keep living.

So, keep your heart open, keep your spirit strong, and keep your love alive.

Even if it's not with the person you thought it would be with, know that love will come again.

And when it does, you'll be ready.
