I loved her so deeply that i disappeared inside my own love
i do not usually write things like this but today i want to write honestly about myself not the good parts not the fake happy picture but the truth the truth is that i can be toxic and if i look back at my journey with Shy i can clearly see how my emotions sometimes crossed the linethis is not just about blaming myself this is about confessing accepting and trying to understand who i really am
meeting shy and how everything started
when i first started talking with shy i never imagined she would become so important in my life she was calm confident and always carried herself with grace she was stylish rich admired by many and different from me in so many ways but at the same time she was approachable soft in her words and friendly
for me she became more than just a friend she became my safe space my idol my inspiration i started calling her shy and dove because she reminded me of peace and beauty
slowly our chats became a routine we spoke about studies about safety about culture about random jokes i used to send her drafts of my writing and she listened with patience she made me feel seen and in return i gave her all the attention i had
but the problem started there
when care turns into pressure
i cared about shy so much that sometimes i forgot where to stop i wanted to talk with her all the time if she was online i wanted to message if she was offline i wanted to wait if she replied short i overthought if she was busy with others i felt jealous
i did not mean to trap her but my love sometimes felt like a chain
i asked her again and again about her feelings even though deep inside i knew she did not feel the same she tried to keep peace she avoided arguments but my heart was restless i wanted her attention like oxygen
thats when i started realising my love was pure but my behaviour was toxic
the cycle of sorry
one thing that defined me in this journey was the word Sorry
i made mistakes i overreacted i argued about small things then i apologised she forgave or at least stayed calm but after some time i repeated the same behaviour again jealousy again overthinking again a sorry
it became a cycle mistake → sorry → repeat
i hated myself for it but i couldnt stop my emotions were too big for my own control
her calmness and my storm
what always amazed me was Shys calmness she never shouted never insulted never made things ugly she was patient even when i caused drama with my feelings she chose silence or soft words
sometimes that silence hurt me more than words i wanted her to fight back to react but she chose peace
thats where we were different she was balance and i was chaos
my dream and her memory
in between all this i often reminded her of my dream to become a doctor i wanted her to remember it maybe because i wanted to leave something behind in her memory
even if one day she forgets my words my jokes or my overthinking i wanted her to remember he wanted to be a doctor he was serious about it
it was my way of connecting my future to her even if she was not going to be part of it
why i call myself toxic
i call myself toxic not because i never loved truly but because i loved in the wrong way
-
i loved with too much intensity
-
i held on too tightly
-
i asked for more than she could give
-
i turned silence into arguments
-
i made her feel pressured even when i only wanted to care
thats what toxicity is when love stops being peaceful and starts becoming heavy
but my love was real
still i want to make one thing clear my love for shy was never fake it was real pure and deep yes it hurt yes it was painful but it was honest
behind every jealous word behind every sorry behind every long message there was only one thing love
even today if shy remembers me i hope she doesnt only remember my mistakes i hope she also remembers the boy who cared who admired her who saw her as his life
learning to be better
now when i look back i dont just see pain i also see lessons
i learnt that love is not about holding its about letting breathe
i learnt that care should feel light not heavy
i learnt that silence doesnt always mean rejection
i learnt that people cannot fix my insecurities i have to fix them myself
most of all i learnt that even if i was toxic i can still change I do not have to stay the same
final words
yes i was toxic i overthought i pressured i apologised too much i repeated mistakes but i was also someone who loved deeply who dreamed big and who wanted nothing but closeness
shy will always be part of my story she may never feel the same for me but she shaped me she taught me patience she showed me calmness and she gave me memories i will never erase
if she ever reads this i just want her to know behind all my toxic behaviour there was always a heart that truly loved her
