When… You are the reason for someone’s loneliness.
They really need you
People tend to feel lonely because nobody loves them. It’s not like that.
For a small phase in my life, I lived in a dark room—eating, bathing, sleeping, and repeating. The windows were shut. The curtains never moved.
I told myself, maybe no one needs me.
But…
One day, a neighbour of mine passed away.
The next morning, our street was filled with silence, broken only by people whispering, “I wish I had said something to him.”
In that moment, I realized something—maybe I’m not unloved.
Maybe everyone just forgets to express it.
Everyone who feels unloved might not be unloved at all — maybe we’ve just forgotten to express how much we need one another.
Love dies not from distance, but from silence.
People talk about long-distance relationships, not about the silence.
With time, love isn’t disappearing from the heart; it’s disappearing from our expression.
- We know, “They already know I care.”
- Comfort turns into emotional laziness.
- Belief that what we are doing for them will be enough.
- Fear of awkwardness.
- Routine replaces love.
Maybe we forget the feeling when someone expresses their love to us.
How beautiful it is to hear from someone who cares about me.
The Heart Never Forgets Expression
“We all need to hear it again — ‘You’re beautiful.’ ‘I’m proud of you.’ ‘I’m still choosing you.’”
Love never dies; it blossoms with expression like a flower blossoms with gardening.
- Saying, “Do you know how beautiful you are?” “Maybe… I love you.” “You are just not yours and also mine.” looks ordinary; just imagine someone says to you.
- Actively listening, one of the purest forms to express love and how much you care about them, listen to your spouse; everyone needs attention.
- Surprise your sweetheart by performing acts to express love and care, bringing their favorite food, leaving a letter between the pillow, or giving a rose.
- Compliment what they really believe they belong to, and show how important they are to you.
- Be present completely when you are with them; put away your phone and others—they really deserve it.
- Physical presence is very crucial in a relationship. Hug your lover, hold hands, and kiss them frequently.
- Spend some time to enjoy them, like arranging a night dinner, cooking in your free time, and expressing that everything you are doing is for us, not for you.
Maybe someone needs your words today. Don’t keep them inside.
