I don't...I don't know what to say, or what I should. If I say what sounds crazy, I'm going to try to explain it, and though I can't prove what I feel and think has happened, it still shines at least a partial light on a hole that was dug and expertly tried to be concealed.
Do you believe in magic? Not feeling like love is magic, but actual, real-life magic? If you don't, then you can scoff and stop reading right now, because I'm going to sound like I have, yes, made up some kind of fantasy.
If you were hurt so much by people you fell in love with in the past, and felt so lonely in your present state, is it possible that you want to be with someone, but want to make sure that that other person you decide to be with loves you back before you commit to it? Isn't that a reasonable thing? And what if you were to get so excited by someone you don't know who keeps telling you that he/she loves you, because you want a loving, healthy relationship so much where you can trust the other person and not have to be worried about being hurt?
But how can anyone know if that other person really, truly loves you? Say magic did exist, and you could somehow spiritually/emotionally sync up with the other person to tell what's going on with them? And then...what if you found that the other person didn't love you as strongly as you were hoping for? You have given no proof to this person that you are reading everything they are sending to you, and this person can't seem to stop, even though you told him/her to a long time ago. What you are witnessing is someone's mental health struggle, someone who is also lonely and looking for love, but has next to little experience with it, keeps making the situation worse, and accidentally hurt you because you believed so much that this time was going to be the one where you found true love?
You are hurting from the situation, but you also care about this other person who still won't stop despite your silence. You understand what is happening to him/her, but the situation is making you more and more uncomfortable, and you care about the person enough to worry about hurting his/her feelings. You also have to keep pretending you don't hear the person, or you will look like a jerk, you could cause more pain, you are put on the spot and can't live in your secluded shelter, and you want the person to learn from this experience and never do it to another one ever again.
I'm not going to go into further details about this. If you take some time to think, it is best to make the other person realize you don't love him/her back. Imagine, though, that the other person knew you used magic, he/she misunderstands the situation, and things continue to get worse?
I am saying this all for a reason. The person with magic cares about the other person but must distance the two of them more and more so as to get on with his/her life and urge the other to move on. But the "Muggle" continues to care about him/her, checks in on what is going on even though he/she has been told not to, continues to have hope and have feelings for the other (despite not having been told the other person does reciprocate the caring), and wishes there was some way forward, to be anything to that other person but a threat, to have some way to no longer cause discomfort?
Think of the problems each of the individual people in this situation face. Is there a solution? Or must things end as they began: in silence? Caring about someone can be a problem. There is a book called The Little Prince, and in one passage of it something is explained: When you care about somebody or something, it is like that person or thing has become some kind of responsibility to you. Pretending you don't care takes the accountability and responsibility away from you, making it easier to drift away. But if you care about a person so much, have announced that care and are bound to it, but the other person is moving away from you, what do you do? You can grasp for the person, but there's nothing you can do about it, and by doing so you are trying to assert control. You care enough to stop messaging, but you still want to see how the person is doing, plus you still can't help but hope. The person backing away, though, doesn't want you to look, either, and might have ways of knowing if you are.
You have seen things you can never comment on to the other person, or show support or offer comfort or words for any sort of occasion. It could be the anniversary of the death of that person's father, and you can see how much he meant to him/her, but you can't say anything or show how sad the thing makes you. You can't congratulate that person on anything. All you can do is hold things inside and try to bury them, try to move on, because that is what you have been asked to do, you have been warned, and you have been told by the other person that what you feel doesn't matter to him/her.
I am here, a victim of myself, and have unintentionally made the person I care about a victim as well, a victim who wants to get away from me. My intentions are not enough, because I have hurt her and dug in the blade without noticing it. She is fighting to stand on her own, to cast me off and away, and I don't know what to do, because I was so sure as well that I had found The One, and have put so much into this, and continue to care, even when I have no role or control in matters. Nothing I feel matters, only what I do, and even if I do what is asked of me I am not allowed to care, and the other person doesn't have to care that I care, has no obligation to. I messed up, continue to care, and so have made myself a prisoner to a responsibility that is mine, as the situation has upset me so, and I understand some of the things I was never supposed to know.
I wish I was making all this up. There's even a chance that anything pertaining to this I haven't been told but feel, think, and believe is my mental health problems. It is also true I am easily confused by others. I have mental health problems, but they have to do with the physical world. I don't know everything, but I know what I know, and that's all I have to work with.
