I’ve been carrying everything you’re too tired to keep carrying

Jacqueline Whitney

You said: I don’t care anymore.

He heard: I care so much it’s breaking me.

He answered: I’ve been carrying everything you’re too tired to keep carrying. You can let it go.

You said: I’m over it.

He heard: I’m still grieving it.

He answered: You don’t have to be over it yet. Take the time you need.

You said: I don’t need anyone.

He heard: I‘m scared to need someone and be disappointed again.

He answered: I’m not going to disappoint you. Let me in.
