Love Me Loudly, or Let Me Go Quietly” – A Letter to the Half-Loved

🌒 Introduction:

She never asked for a perfect man.

Just an honest one.

A present one.

A loud one.

One who wouldn't whisper "I love you" only when no one was watching,

One who wouldn’t treat her like a secret,

Or love like a seasonal emotion.

This is her letter.

To the man who kept her in the grey.

To the feeling that never became real.

To the love that stayed quiet when it should’ve screamed.

🖤 Part I: The Almost-Love

1. You Touched My Soul, But Never Held My Hand

You liked the way I made you feel,

But not the effort I needed in return.

I wasn’t asking for diamonds—

Just clarity.

But even that felt like too much for you.

2. You Called Me Beautiful, But Kept Me Hidden

What good are compliments if I’m still invisible?

If your love hides behind locked phones and “we’re just talking”?

You can’t love someone halfway and expect them to stay whole.

3. You Showed Up, But Only When It Was Convenient

You called me when it was lonely.

You missed me when it was late.

But never when it mattered.

Never when I needed to be prioritized over pride.

🌹 Part II: The Ache of Being Half-Loved

4. I Was the Poem You Never Read Out Loud

You liked the rhythm of me,

But not the weight of meaning.

You kept me between pages,

But never claimed me in your story.

5. You Gave Me Just Enough to Stay, But Not Enough to Bloom

A text here, a call there.

Affection in doses,

Never devotion in full.

You watered me with rationed care

And wondered why I wilted.

6. You Confused My Strength With Endurance

I stayed longer than I should’ve—

Not because I didn’t know my worth,

But because I hoped you’d one day see it.

🔥 Part III: The Turning Point

7. I Stopped Waiting for You to Choose Me

I realized:

Silence is also a decision.

Hesitation is also an answer.

And I deserve more than a love that makes me guess.

8. I Wanted to Be Fought For—Not Just Found

I don’t need rescuing.

But I need someone who doesn’t walk away when love gets deep,

When emotions get messy,

When I stop smiling just to be polite.

9. I Am Not a “Maybe” Woman

I’m not built for crumbs.

I don’t glow halfway.

I don’t love with limits.

So if you can’t love me loudly—

Let me go quietly.

💫 Part IV: A Promise to Myself

10. I Will No Longer Dim to Be Digestible

Let them say I’m too much.

Too emotional.

Too passionate.

Too intense.

Those are just words spoken by people who couldn’t handle depth without drowning.

11. I Deserve a Love That Shows Up Without Excuses

Love that doesn’t flinch at commitment.

That calls in the morning and stays through the storms.

That doesn’t ask me to shrink to fit into someone else's comfort zone.

12. I Am the Loud Kind of Love—And I’ll Wait for the One Who Echoes It Back

Until then,

I’ll heal.

I’ll grow.

I’ll keep my standards high and my heart open.

Because the right one won’t need reminders to show up.

He’ll arrive with his heart in hand—ready, willing, and real.

📝 Final Lines:

To the man who couldn’t love me fully:

Thank you for teaching me what I won’t accept again.

I forgive you—

But I’ve moved on.

To the woman reading this:

Your feelings are valid.

Your love is worthy.

Your standards are not “too much.”

They are your protection.

So love loudly,

Or let go gently.

Because this time, we choose ourselves.
