What It Feels Like When Love Isn’t Enough In A Relationship

It’s not that you haven’t found yourself in a position of heartbreak before because you have. It’s that you thought you got it right this time with the right person, but you’re back to square one. When it comes to love, there will always be pain and pain is what you feel in your heart and soul right now.

You thought that love conquers all, and for once, you actually believed in it. He showed you everything a man should treat you and you know that he loves you with the fullness of his heart. He promised you that you will only know the good kind of love when you decided to forego a relationship with him. For months you believed him because he kept his promise; he really showed you how heartfelt and pure love can be.
