Why do you do this to yourself?
Isn’t this torture?
Aren’t you tired?

You’re an adult now, and you can’t seem to let go of that same old love, the one who wasn’t ready for you in the first place, afraid of commitment, afraid of being with a strong and beautiful woman like you.

Why are you still holding on, and what are you trying to prove?

This guy had so many chances, infinite opportunities to make you his and lost that shot a long time ago.

Let me take a wild guess, you’re actually going to wait for him, see if he comes around if no one else does?

Do you really think that by the time he decides to grow up, grow a pair, that it’s going to be flying fireworks, happily ever after?

What are you going to do if that’s not the case at all?

What if he says he’s all “grown up”, swallows you, and spits you right back out like he did several years ago?

I mean, how much more can you take?!

How many more lies or mind games do you have to endure in order to keep him? He should be worried about losing you if anything!
