LOVE LETTER SERIES - EP 5: The Fear of Losing What You Have

 'Her love lights up my night more than the moon ever could'

I had heard about this phase, but I never truly prepared myself for it.

I could see how we were both hurt—longing for each other and hoping to get past what was happening.

What exactly didn’t I miss?

Your warm, tight embrace?

Your soft kisses on my skin?

Your gentle sniffs as you held me close?

Your hands patting me each time we met?

It felt like I was being starved of a nutrient that fueled my entire being.

I wanted to run to you, to tell you about my day—everything.

But I held back because I didn’t want it to be harder for you to let go.

It still feels strange that I actually thought it might be over.

This innocent love we share—the kind that blossoms daily—wasn’t going to fade.

Each quarrel or misunderstanding brought us even closer.

It made our bond stronger.

Day by day, we’re learning each other’s boundaries.

We’re adjusting where it’s needed, growing where it’s needed, and compromising for the right reasons.

I began to understand more deeply when I accepted that you truly love me.

Everything you do flows from that love.

Your willingness to make me feel my best—whether you're with me or not—brings tears of joy to my eyes when I think of you.

You’ve filled my mind with thoughts of you.

Your sweet nature has made me more aware of how amazing you truly are.

I would choose you again and again.

I didn’t fall for you because of the thrill, but because you saw me as I am—and nurtured the peace within me.

My love for you can’t be expressed fully in words.

With each passing day, I only want to be closer—spending forever in the same space with you.

Reflection

Love teaches us many things—but one of its most powerful lessons is this: it’s not just about being chosen, it’s about being nurtured. Real love is consistent, not dramatic. It’s found in the patience of learning each other, the willingness to grow, and the quiet strength of showing up, again and again.

If love ever scares you because of its depth, it means it’s real. But when it's right, it won’t drown you—it will steady you.

And when both people choose each other daily, even in the difficult moments... that’s the kind of love that lasts.
