Sometimes, love leaves such a deep mark that the thought of loving someone new feels impossible. It’s not bitterness—it’s loyalty. It’s the quiet truth that your heart still belongs to someone, even if they’re no longer here, no longer yours.
You try to move on. People tell you to open up, to give someone else a chance. But your heart resists. Not because you’re afraid, but because you’re still holding on. To memories. To moments. To a love that felt irreplaceable.
This feeling is tender and painful. You miss them, but more than that—you miss who you were with them. You miss the way love felt when it was theirs. And now, every new possibility feels like a betrayal of that past.
But not wanting to love again doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you loved deeply. It means your heart remembers. And maybe, in time, you’ll find space for something new—not to replace what was, but to honor it by growing beyond it.
Because love doesn’t always end with goodbye. Sometimes, it stays quietly, reminding you that what you felt was real.
