When You’re Tired Of Hearing ‘I Like You, But –’
You’re tired of hearing everything that comes after but, you’re tired of knowing that even if someone is attracted to you, they still don’t want to be with you.

It shows me a glimpse of a better reality. Better stories of real love, of dreams coming true, of babies being born, of people expressing their undying love to their friends and family. Sometimes it’s filled with love and it makes me believe.
I’m finally learning that it doesn’t have to be a sad story with no destination. I’m finally learning that I can still change the ending. I can still make it a happy one.
Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for the way you love, don’t let anyone tell you that your heart is a fool. Don’t let them tame your wild heart. Don’t let them tame you.
Maybe I really didn’t do my part as much as I thought I did, maybe I didn’t give my all, maybe I preach about loving too hard but when it came to loving you, I fell short. I backed off. I was afraid of how hard the fall may be. I was afraid of not getting up.
You have to be proud of the things that people don’t see. You have to be proud of everything that happens behind the scenes even if the movie doesn’t make it to the box office.
Run from the sad and painful stories that tell you that there’s no way out of this hell, run from the stories that feed you all the lies about why you can’t accomplish something amazing or how you’ll never find that old-fashioned romance you’ve been wishing for or how you’ll never be able to have the best of both worlds.
You see, the difference between us is that you like hunting but you don’t know what you’re hunting because you don’t want to actually catch anything, you just like the thrill of the hunt, the adrenaline rush, the things that don’t last but I like to love. I like to show that I care. I like commitment. I like intimacy.
You may wonder about me,
you may occasionally miss me,
you may ask about me
but you will never love me.
Because boys like you don’t really love,
boys like you only know how to take.
You taught me how to live without needing anyone but you never taught me how to live without needing you.
