"Give me my flowers while I'm living". That saying means, tell your loved ones you love them while they're here. If you love someone, they should know how you feel. Diddy lost the mother of his 3 children Kim Porter not too long ago due to pneumonia. He was with her for years and constantly cheated on her, had children on her and never married her. He spent 10 years with now ex girlfriend Cassie following the separation. Many fans have slammed Diddy in comments for shouting his love for her through social media, now that she is gone. Some wonder, if she was such a good woman, and great mother why didn't he show this love to her while she was alive? Diddy has replied back to a few fans admitting he made a mistake:
I always tell people how I fell, whether bad or good because it helps relieves stress for me. If I love you, you will know it. The hardest thing is losing a loved one, or a partner and never having the chance to tell them how much they meant to you. Even if I write you a 4 page letter and you never respond at least I let you know and that's enough for me.
My ex and I were talking for 2 years. He always says he is not a affectionate guy, so saying sweet things is not what he does. Throughout those 2 yrs I wasn't ready for a relationship because my previous serious relationship drained me, but I always wanted him to express his love for me and tell me I" love you", and not "You know how I feel about you". How could I know if he didn't tell me? Years went by and he has dated other women and I recently fell in love last year with another guy. I wasn't planning to but when I met this guy it just felt so strong from the moment we said hello. It was a unique and interesting love but it was real for me. Unfortunately we didn't work out due to irreconcilable differences but I still love him very much. My ex and I had a talk where I was opening up about this same guy I fell in love him and the problems we were having. He came out of no where and told me he will always be here for me, and he will always be in love with me. I remember being shocked. I said "Wow, since when", jokingly? He said he always loved me and I should knew that. He also said he wants me to be happy. I never knew he loved me because he never told me he loved me. If I knew this years ago, just maybe I would of been open to working things out. Now I no longer love him. I moved on and ended up falling in love with someone else. The lesson in that was telling people how you feel when you still have them.
Don't be regretful. Give that person a hug, tell that person you love them. Life is short and tomorrow is not promised.
