Mask Off

I want to know him, truly know him!

I want to trust him, truly trust him!

I sense that he wears a mask. He doesn't let me in, into his life. He doesn't let me touch him, touch the parts of him that show me who he truly is, the parts that matter to the essence of his being - heart, mind & soul. I want to see the all of faces that he hides from the world so that when I say I love him, he will know that I love all of him.

I need for him to remove his mask and show me his demons. So that he'll know that he's shown me his worse and I've still chosen to love him.

Have I not earned his trust?

Wearing masks prevents us from being known and from knowing others. Vulnerability is scary, but it is the backbone of strength in healthy relationships. When you know yourself and allow yourself to be known, it’s easier to know your partner. Give your partner the gift of yourself—real, imperfect, and exactly what they need.
