Fear is an amazing thing. It can make perfectly sane people do things that otherwise they would never dream of. How many people have walked away from the great love in their life because fear kept you from being able to take a chance? How many people look back at their lives and regret something they did not do because fear stopped them? How many people are alone in the world now because they have a fear of commitment? How many people haven't listened to their hearts and souls because they were afraid of being loved, afraid of losing love, afraid of being hurt by love.
Someone I care about so deeply is making a huge mistake in their life right now and there is nothing I can do but watch. They have found the great love of their life and they are walking away from it.They are so afraid of being hurt and putting themself out there, risking it all for a chance at love. It hurts so much to watch this. So few people get a love like this one. This couple is amazing. When they look at each other you can tell the world disaapears and all they see is each other and the love that radiates from them lights up the whole room.They know each other so well even though neither one of them will admit it. They think the same things or say the same things at the same time. It is like looking at 2 halfs of a soul that have finally been put back together. The woman is so profoundly in love she is willing to risk everything because she knows love is worth the price. She would walk through hell just to be with him, but he is so afraid to let her in that he is walking away. I know he loves her more than anything. When he looks at her you can see it all in his eyes, but fear is stopping him. I am watching him walk away from the best thing that has ever happened or will happen to him and I am watching her die a little inside with every minute that passes. Can anyone explain how people can be so blinded by fear that they would walk away from a love like this, a love that will last centuries, a love that will endure even beyond death. How can they do this?
Fear is a funny thing but the funniest is that it blocks out love...until we are willing to let go of the fears...we can't feel love or give it until we are willing to get rid of all of our fears!!!!
I am asking everybody please pray, send out positive energy, whatever............but please keep this couple in mind and pray they work this through. Too many people never get a chance like this.
Assuming you're right and these two are meant for one another, they'll find one another again. If they do not, each will grow in a manner that would not have been possible before they were together and will progress toward the life partner they should be with. From my current perspective, every relationship builds on the prior ones until (God willing) you get it right.
Try to not be sad for them. It's difficult to watch breakups, especially when you care about the people involved, so please accept this hug from someone who has been on both sides of the issue
I know very little about this but sometimes we are so blinded by our own love that we can't see the other person can't or doesn't feel the exact same way.
I will send prayers that things will go as God intended for each involved.
