It's all my father's fault...
<p><br/></p><p>If my father had shown me what it meant to be loved by a man, then maybe I wouldn't have mistaken attention for affection.</p><p><br/></p><p>If my father had showered me with lovely compliments, then maybe I wouldn't have fallen for the beautiful lies whispered into my ears.</p><p><br/></p><p>If my father had encouraged me, then maybe I wouldn't have been so easily swayed by the words of those who promised me the world.</p><p><br/></p><p>If my father had treated me right, then maybe I wouldn't have found myself searching for love at such a tender age.</p><p><br/></p><p>If my father had communicated with me, then maybe I wouldn't have sought comfort in conversations with strangers who knew just what to say.</p><p><br/></p><p>If my father had called me without a reason, then maybe those late-night calls wouldn't have felt so special.</p><p><br/></p><p>If my father had told me, "I love you," then maybe those three words wouldn't have become the very tool used to win me over time and time again.</p><p><br/></p><p>If my father had sung my praises, held my hands with admiration, and made me feel like a little girl worthy of the world's gentlest affection, then maybe I wouldn't have been swept off my feet by sweet lies disguised as love.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe I wouldn't have mistaken bare minimum effort for extraordinary affection.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe I wouldn't have found myself desperately holding on to people who only knew how to love me when it was convenient for them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe I wouldn't have confused being wanted with being valued.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe...</p><p><br/></p><p>And perhaps that's the saddest part.</p><p><br/></p><p>© Winna'spen 🖋️✨</p>
