over the past 72 hours

Every time I allow (myself) my guard to fall and my feelings to surface, I hear my heart crack a bit. The empty ache to feel loved or be the ache in someone else’s heart... makes me sad and tears roll on my cheek. Will I be that for someone? Will I find someone who will show me the love that everyone proclaims is the love you’ll know when you sense it? I await and I hope but my vulnerability ends now.
