Short story about my feelings

Treasure Chest Of Happiness I feel like this type of love that i seek is a treasure full of gold on a deserted island.. I keep searching and searching but I all I have to work with is a crappy metal detector.. I keep hearing it beep and beep so I get excited that I finally found it, only to dig down deep to find that it's just a worthless piece of metal.. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I know that I can find the gold it's just gonna take time, and I keep feeling closer and closer when we hang out and spend time together. It just scares me to think this will be the closest ill ever get to my treasure. And I start to fall deeper an deeper in love with her only to have to remind myself not to, because "US" might never be an option, and i know that we may never be together and she may never love me again like she once did. she said last night that she didnt know if she was still in love with me, that she wants to be but doesnt know if she can, it hurt like hell to hear that, those words were the sharpest knife to cut me deep in a long time. But I still have hope ill find it one day.. So my only hope right now is that the sand that I'm digging through ain't that deep. To where I get buried alive trying to find my treasure chest of happiness.

Dude, I am about to do what no one else here has yet done, and that is to be truly honest with you, but trust me, I'm doing you a favor. My first bit of advice to you is, man up, grow a spine, grow a set of balls. Women are attracted to confidence. They don't want meek, timid unsure guys, they want guys who believe in themselves. I'm not saying be an arrogant jerk, that's worse, but do believe in yourself and have some self respect. Now, If I read correctly, this is someone you were in a relationship of some sort with once before? I say this because you said "she may never love me again like she once did". Once again, my advice is the same, man up. Ex's are ex's for a reason. No matter how much it sucks, it is what it is and in all reality, there isn't much you can do about it. Move on. Be decent, respectful and adult about it, but do move on. Lastly, you must resist the temptation to go all emo about it. Yeh, it sucks, it hurts, but it is what it is and in all likelihood isn't going to change. Stand up, brush off, and walk on proudly. It was a learning experience and you will grow from it. Good or bad, we all grow from our experiences. You're young and still have a lot of living and learning to do. As long as you accept each lesson for what it is, you will be a better man for it.

Well thanks for the feedback but the situation I'm in is a little bit more complicated than what you have read, ill go into some detail. Okay well first off, yes we were once together and she is the mother of my 2 year old son, and I honestly am over her I mean I still love her and always will but I've accepted the fact that we most likely won't be in an intimate relationship. And that's fine, that's not what I care about and honestly I wrote this when we had just broken up which was about 4 months ago. An second I'm not going "emo" I was just simply stating my feelings at the moment and you can't pretend like you've never been sad before, everyone expresses their emotions in different ways, for me it's writing. And last but not least your right about the learning experience thing I am young and I have my whole life ahead of me, I have taken this experience as a lesson learned and I have been taught alot about what I want for myself and that I need to focus on me and my life as a father to my son which is exactly what I've been doing but I really appreciate the feedback and thank you for your input:)

You know what's funny? When you're happy with yourself and happpy with your life & least expecting it, love does a sneak atack on you. She may or may not be "the one" for you. When we look too hard or dig too deep, we're looking too hard. Time finds us who and what we need, when we need it and it's usually better than we could've ever imagined.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. It is better to live in expectation, than to live without hope. Seek God first, and He will fulfill the desires of your heart. He has made us for connecting and definitely wants that for you. Until Ms. Right comes along take the time to build yourself up in the promises of God so you as a "whole person" can join yourself with another.

Well Joey! The truth of life is -- all the treasures are within you, if there is any at all! Confused? Well, there are apparently two worlds where we stay or exist simultaneously: The first one hosts our body and mind, and the second one is built up by our expectation and imagination. The 'she' is in the second world, she does not physically exist. She is abstract, a mere creation of your ego. She was never there, she is not there, and she will never come to you. Come back to the first world of body and mind. Accept any body (she) as your 'she.' Love her slowly slowly, she will turn into your 'she'. Otherwise, go inside yourself, dig deeper, deeper and deeper ,,, that will be a never-ending journey but keep you moving till you go under the soil. Because it is just a shadow.
