I love him a lot. I wish he loved me like I love him.

Some people need symmetrical love… or at least the plausible appearance of it. I hope your wish comes true.

If he’s anything like me, though? He may love you in ways that make you feel safer and more purposeful and better understood than you’ve ever been in your life, but it’ll never be anything like your love for him. You can have peace, pleasure, and passion… but you’ll never achieve parity.

A man can have many daughters, but you only have one Dad.
