Hard to Love

 Hard to Love 

 

He’s hard to love, that no understatement. 

Pushing you away as soon as he realizes he let you in. 

But I also know that he is a blessing sent. 

Even if he acts as if to love is to sin! 

I know it’s because he’s been hurt before. 

Had his heart ripped out.

Long before I ever walked through the door. 

So sometimes loving him can be so hard it makes me want to shout! 

But I can’t give up even if I want to.

He is already a part of me. 

And I know sometimes I don’t know what to do. 

To make him see, with him is where I want to be! 

I want to make his smile bright. 

I want it to reach his eyes.

I was so happy when I knew I was the reason for the light. 

Knowing it was real, not based on lies! 

He is such an amazing man. 

Someone that each day I could celebrate. 

I don’t care that he wasn’t part of the plan. 

He is definitely someone I want to date! 

To me, loving him is just something I do.

It comes naturally, no need to force it. 

And I know I can be hard to love too.

But this fire between us was already lit!

Two hard to love people;

That can love each other hard!  

-Angela Stull

The meaning behind this poem is quite clear, my love has been a very difficult man to love since the day he realized he was catching feelings. He has such a damaged heart, he has been abandoned and broken so many times that I can't say that I blame him. All I can do is be patient and continue to show him that not everyone is going to hurt him.
