Timing is everything

He told me that he wished he knew me earlier, before his heart was broken so many times that it became hard for him to love again.

While he was holding me one night, he looked into my eyes with such admiration, mixed with what seemed to be a tinge of yearning. As he delicately tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear, he told me that he was envious that I was "still soft". He had complimented the smoothness of my skin many times, but I could tell that's not what he meant in this moment. I knew that he was talking about my soul, or something like my availability to love freely.

It almost looked as if he felt a little guilty when he said it too, as if already knowing that he was reaping the benefits of what he couldn't reciprocate.

I didn't ask him any questions for clarification. I just leaned into him, letting him feel the weight of me. Holding him tightly back, as hard as he held me.

If he really loved you he would outwardly say it, I hope he isn’t ‘pocketing’ you where a person goes halfsies into a relationship so they don’t have to fully commit. If you have feelings for him just tell him you love him and hope he reciprocates.

@AlienWhiteP0wer He was definitely trying to pocket me.

Last night I ended up starting a conversation about what we were both looking for. The things that we said weren't compatible, so I ended it with him.

I'm just hurting now from it all, so writing this reminiscent post of a bittersweet moment between us. Processing I guess.
