for once, i don’t want almosts or maybes or something temporary. i want to know what it feels like to be chosen without hesitation, to be someone people stay for, not just someone they want for a moment, to be loved in a way that doesn’t make me question it, not even once

I waited for you, just for you to end up choosing someone else.

“Don’t act like you lost me. You pushed me away every time I tried to stay.”

I hate that it’s not safe to love anymore.

when I’m no longer interested, I really am no longer interested

“I stayed long enough to watch you become someone I wouldn’t have fallen for.”

“You kept me without ever choosing me.”

Yes... they did. Each of them. Hurt me in the process. I chose me and walked away. I am not a woman to just be kept and not loved.

“Nothing is more honest than the way someone chooses you when it’s inconvenient.”

I loved you in a way I wished someone would love me.

“i act like things don’t affect me, but in reality, i just process everything alone.”

“You didn’t lose me suddenly. You just made it easier to leave, one decision at a time.”

Wise words ...
