He Never Loved me

He never loved me

He never really loved me

He loved the idea of me

He loved the way that I was there for him

He loved having someone so unconditional by his side

Someone who accepted him just as he was 

It was something rare to him 

But he did not love me for me. 

One thing is to love someone for who they are . You just do. 

Another very different one is what many people get confused with

And it is loving the idea of someone 

It is loving how they love you

And that does not mean you love them for them, as who they are, for who they are, as a whole individual. 

It feels good and liberating to know and understand the difference. First of all for you.

For you to recognize if you love someone for who they are. 

Or you love them only for what they can give (to) you ...
