I love you

Today he told me I love you, all I could do was giggle because I don't know how I feel about him. It scared me to hear it, I mean I could love him one day I just don't right now. I care for him but I'm not at love yet.... I don't want to rush things by saying it back I want to make sure I mean it when I say it. He hasn't said he wants or needs me to say it back but we will see how long that lasts. I want to love him he's so sweet (most times) haha oh gosh so many things I need to think about...

How do you know when to let go?

This person that is on mind, it's hard for me to let him go and i have no clue why.. we dated over a year ago and I havent seen him sense. It's not that I'm in love with him, because that fact is that I'm not sure that ever was. Maybe i need closure, maybe it's the idea of him that keeps me holding on. We started texting again in June and talking about wanting to be together, the thing is he's in another state at the moment and has a girlfriend that he says the situation is difficult .i know I'm the fool for getting my hopes up but it's him i can't help myself i want to believe that there could be a future for us. I want to see what it is that i have missed there past 16 months. I know he will never fully be mine as long as hes with her but i guess i can deal with it because he's so far away. He's the reason i havent been able to fully open up and be with some one else... half me wants to move on and the other half of me wants to wait for him when he gets back from deployment and i will fully have a chance... hmm
