“THE SECRET MISTRESS “
Falling in love…
With a married man.
Not planned.
Not forced.
Just… happened.
You found yourself faithfully devoted,
To someone who can never truly be yours.
Sharing beautiful, fleeting moments…
Then returning to silence.
To your single bed.
To your waiting heart.
While he?
He goes home
To warm embraces,
Dinner tables,
Little footsteps, and a woman who calls him “mine.”
And you?
You stay hoping.
Hoping for the next time.
Next visit.
Next stolen hour.
Next lie you tell to cover a love that lives in shadows.
You’re not a bad person.
Your love is real.
Your reasons are valid.
But sister,
Are you fulfilled?
How do you carry the weight?
The guilt?
The anxiety?
The aching silence that follows every goodbye?
How do you cope,
Knowing your heart is rooted in someone else’s soil?
That your investment…
Yields no future?
Just borrowed time.
You are hurting, sister.
I see it.
You silence your pain because you want to give him joy.
Because you don’t want to be the reason he’s shamed.
Don’t want to be the crack in his marriage.
Don’t want to be the villain in his children’s story.
You love him that much.
Enough to hide.
Enough to shrink.
Enough to become the secret.
And yes,
He might love you, too.
But his love lives in compartments.
Yours lives in full bloom.
You didn’t fall for his money,
You have your own.
Comfortable. Capable.
So no one can say you chased his wealth.
You chased his soul.
His laughter.
His mind.
But now…
It’s time to ask the hard questions.
Are you seeking love… or just excitement?
Are you filling a void… or avoiding your own healing?
Are you truly in love… or just afraid to be alone?
Sister,
You deserve more than borrowed affection.
More than midnight texts and silent tears.
More than waiting on love that doesn’t wait for you.
You are not unworthy.
You are not invisible.
You are not second.
But you have to choose.
Choose a love that doesn’t hide.
A love that claims you in the light.
A love that’s fully, freely Yours.
