I can't imagine giving such a huge piece of myself to someone and then have them turn around years later and say that they don't want me anymore. Or for someone to give such a huge piece of himself for me and for me to be the one to break it off. I don't have the heart to do that to someone and I certainly don't think my heart could stand it coming from someone else.
This is probably why I've always been single--God knows me better than anyone else and He knows that I couldn't take heartbreak. It would crush me.
Sure, I've had my share of crushes that haven't felt the same way back-- all of them. ha.
But that's nothing compared to having someone and then having them change their mind.
Does this make me glad to still be single? Surprisingly not. For every couple I know whose marriage has ended, I know at least one who has stayed together. My own parents just celebrated 35 years of marriage in July.
But I have come to having a new appreciation of being single-- I have yet to face true heartbreak. Maybe when my latest crush rejected me it felt like my heart was breaking--but I know that it wasn't.
This is the third time someone close to me has gone through this pain. But this is the first time I've been so involved.
And I know if the shoe were on the other foot she'd do the same for me.
Be strong, dear friend. God has a plan for you! There is always hope in Him.
