I’m hard to love, i hate myself for knowing that, and i hated that i couldn’t do anything about it.

I hated myself for not being enough, i hated myself for being incapable of expressing myself, and i hated myself for not knowing how to love — how to love someone the right way.

I hated myself, yet all you did was love the parts of me that i have always hated. All you did was make me feel love, you made me feel that i was deserving of your love.

The word ‘i love you’ can be said in different ways, such as "i love you, 3000" or "the moon is beautiful, isn’t it?", but those words wasn’t really romantic for me at all. I have always thought that the most romantic way to tell someone you love them is to tell them that..

... “I love you so much, i forgot what hating myself feels like.”

Whenever i asked people “how can you tell that you’re in love?”, their most common response would always be “they make me feel safe and happy”, “they make my heart flutter”, or “I love them more than myself”, but never, “I knew i love them because being by their side made me forget what hating myself feels like.”.
How fun would it be to have someone that loves the little things about you—to have someone that loves the things that you hate about yourself.

Ever since i met you, i learned that the saying "You can’t love someone unless you love yourself first" wasn’t true at all, because loving you made me love myself more. Your love was so kind, soft, and gentle, it made me forgot that i hate myself. Loving you made me forget all my flaws, you made me feel so perfect.

I love you so much to the point that i started loving myself too.
