They win you over on the first date, telling you that you’re different.

Telling you that they won’t hurt you or destroy.

Even when everyone told her to run.

Even when everyone knew he was a player.

Even when there were so many red flags and warning signs.

She did it anyway.

And you arent dumb.

You are a smart person.

You have a brain.

But you believe him.

And that will become your biggest downfall.

Its so easy to play the game.

To talk the talk.

To say what needs to be said, to say exactly what you want to hear.

Its not hard to play the nice guy.

Its not hard to be charming.

And its not hard for you to fall.

Its not hard for you to say to yourself, well maybe hes different.

Its not hard for you to fall for someone like that.

Because he is a master at toying with peoples emotions.

And he is a master at hurting your heart.

You see, this is just what he does.

Because he thinks he can.

Because he doesnt care.

Because he doesnt care about anyone else other than himself.

And because he likes to toy and to play.

But he doesnt love.

Its fun for him.

To seduce you with his string of words that he has said before.

Its fun for him.

To kiss you and make it seem like he meant it.

Its so much fun.

But not so much for you.

Your friends tell you to spin up the other direction.

Your mom shakes her worried head.

Your sister tells you hes a coward.

Your best friends tell you hes bad news.

But you ignore all of it.

Because he makes you feel alive.

He makes you feel like a different person.

He makes you feel so damn special.

But this is a cycle that will turn into heartbreak.

And this is a cycle that will never change.

Because he will never change.

Dont ever think that you’ve got the option to change that kind of person.

Dont listen to his compliments and his lies.

Dont do what I did.

Dont run towards him, blinded by his eyes and his smile and his hands.

Dont believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

Because one day youre going to see him smile at other girls.

One day, youre going to see him flirt and touch other peoples hands like he did to you.

But this time, its not going to be you.

Because he doesnt have the capability of loving your beautiful heart.

And dont look back.

No matter how charming he is on the outside, its his heart thats black.

He has no business running around that heart of yours.

And you deserve so, so, much better than that.

I hope you believe that.
