Every time I find a boy I think is smarter than the average bear, every time I find a boy that seems to understand me in the way that I need to be understood, it always turns out that he is either, gay, taken or a player. Sometime more than one at once. What is wrong with me? Why do I seek out relationships that are bound for doom? Why is it that I let my heart whisper the words 'i love you'? Why is it that I let my mind believe my heart? Why do I fall for the emotionally unavailible?
We've fallen into a pattern of comfortability. You think that we're a good couple, you claim to tell people that. But how is that true when you barely tell anyone about us? You hide behind a facade of kindness, but in truth, you are crueler than you know. Your obsession with image has torn me, and left pieces of me aching. You say that I don't care enough, but with all of the objects of affection that you buy me, you have never given me what I really want -- your heart. Until I demanded it you couldn't even give me exclusivity.
You wanted the control in this relatioship, and I've given it to you for months. What has come out of it but hiding, and pain? How many times have I felt ashamed of myself and the way I look just because you are? Feelings that I never harbored before. Feelings that you instill in me with your need to constantly look good in the eyes of others, when in fact you only succeed in making me look bad in my own eyes?
This has gone on too long. I need change, or this relationship is over.
Now I have to learn how to say this without tears.
