I AM A GIVER NOT A RECEIVER.

Someone asked me if I was ready
To receive the love I think I need
And this was my response ,
I am so used to being on the giving side that I don't think I could handle receiving love well
I get overwhelmed by little shows of affection because they are not my everyday cup of tea
The amount of love I think I want needs me to do some work on myself
And accept that I can receive love too
But I already convinced myself that I can only give love
And what I feel doesn't matter , only what they feel does
And people can't love me back ,it's too hard to love me
Everyday I give all I have but I never receive
Because I am bound to be a giver not a receiver
