You know that tremendously over rated saying

"If you love someone,

let them go,

if they come back,

you know they are yours forever"

YEAH OKAY MATE.

i can appreciate the beauty of the words
and the innocence of the connotation behind it,


but realistically


if you love someone and they for some reason or another want to go away from you,


they dont like you


they do not like you
they do not love you
they do not <insert affectionate word> you

because if they did,
they wouldn't have even THOUGHT about leaving you

if you aren't with someone right now
but they say they like you or love you or want your babies or watever,

why haven't they done something about it?

there's no excuse for it

there shouldn't be any beating around the bush with it

at the end of the day,
people are with each other because they WANT to be


if someone isn't with you
they just
DO.
NOT.
LIKE.
YOU.

i hate making excuses for them
"aww but they love me"

"you dont know him, i know him, i know he loves me, thats all there is"

"its just not the right time right now"


sitting down,
and finally confronting it all
i realise i was just so caught up in having someone,
that i was willing to excuse the obvious reason of why we weren't together

its a depressing and harsh reality
which i admittedly didn't take in at first

but you've got to.

and it honestly is the best realisation when you know it,
accept it,
and
move on

If you love someone

and they want you to let them go,

LET.
THEM.
GO.

if they come back,

slam the door and

don't let them back in.
