He wants a second chance

[overtherainbow]

What do I do.

A part of me is extremely happy that he wants a second chance, but the other part of me is extremely scared.

I have been missing him and I do love him, but I dont think I can handle him coming back to me saying he is confused again or worse shut down and push me away. I dont think I am strong enought to withstand him pushing me away.

I know there is more room in your heart for love when you let go of old hurts, but can I take that risk again. I have been trying to work through my feelings of love and just be his friend, but that hasnt been easy either.

I dont want us to get back together for the wrong reasons either. Does he want a second chance because he is lonely, do I want to give him that second chance for the same reasons or do we both realize what we have in each other that we want to make it work.

There is another quote I look at everyday at work. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is taking action in spite of fear.

Maybe we go with it and see what happens. I just dont know what to do.

The responses I got to Fell in Love with a Male Survivor were awesome and thanks for helping out me out once again.

the way i see it, love is always a leap of faith. you risk everything by opening your life up to another, and if it goes wrong, it will hurt bad. there is a huge risk, but if you never take the risk, you will never have love. what i have learned is that i will be okay, no matter what happens. i take the risk, and sometimes i get hurt, but then i get back up and do it all over again. i have faith in God and i know i will be okay, even if something goes wrong.
