I don’t Hate You

I wrote this during a time where I was reflecting a lot on how repeated hurt quietly changes a person. Not all damage happens loudly. Sometimes it happens slowly, through disappointment, emotional exhaustion, fear, and the gradual loss of the softer parts of yourself. This piece is not about hatred or blame. It is simply an honest reflection on what it feels like to slowly stop feeling emotionally safe inside a love you once believed in completely. A lot of these words come from real thoughts, real emotions, and real moments of reflection throughout my own journey. The lyrics and imagery are created by me, with AI used only to help bring the music itself to life. More than anything, this song is about grieving the version of yourself that once loved openly before life taught you to become guarded.

I don’t hate you…

I think that’s what makes this hurt
in ways I still struggle to explain.
Because despite everything,
part of me still remembers
the girl who loved you so gently.
The girl who looked at you
with excitement instead of fear.
Who believed love would feel safe.
Who never imagined
she would one day
have to protect herself from the person
she once trusted most.

But repeated hurt changes people.

And somewhere along the way,
the softness in me
stopped feeling safe to exist.
