Everyone needs some affirmation and reassurance. I know I do. I know you do, too. Even the best man I know needs to be reassured from time to time.
Today was one of those times.
How I wish that insecurities would never arise, but we all see faults and shortcomings on ourselves that at times we feel undeserving of the love being given to us by our partners.
Today, the love of my life needed to be reassured. So I stood by him. I tried to make him feel how much I love him, and only him.
Things aren’t easy for both of us because we’re half the world away from one another. We need to put in so much effort to make “us” work. We do get by.
Today was different. It was he who needed to feel loved, wanted and needed. Most of the time it’s me who always whine about wanting to feel appreciated, to the point of being such a prima donna. It’s his turn today, however. And I regret to say it wasn’t unwarranted.
I did a terrible thing a few days ago. I’m not proud of what I did. It hurt him. I hurt him.
It’s not that I’m guilt-ridden that I’m writing this. It’s just that I wanted something concrete to show myself, to remind myself, that he needs me just as much as I need him.
He needs to feel appreciated as much as I do.
He needs to know he’s the only one I love.
He needs to be reassured that I do not want what other people has to offer me.
Today I let my man know that I only need and want what he has - himself. No one else. Just him. Only him.
It only takes three simple words to reassure him.
I love you.
I am yours.
