I care too much about myself to start caring about you again.
It would mean allowing you back into my cracked, bleeding heart.
Im not in the right place for a relationship right now and its your fault.
Steven Aguilar
Youre the one who bruised me.
Youre the one who made me realize time to myself is exactly what I need right now.
Giving you a second chance would mean placing myself back in the same exact situation and expecting different results.
Im not stupid enough to believe what happened between us has inspired you to make a change.
Youre the same exact person right now as you were when you hurt me the first time.
If I decide to walk back into your life, you arent going to treat me any better.
Youre going to repeat your behavior.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Im not about to make the same mistake a second time.
Giving you a second chance would mean disrespecting myself and I have too much self-love for that to happen.
Ive raised my standards since the last time youve seen me.
Ive realized what true love really means, what genuine respect really entails.
Im not going to put myself through the pain of loving you.
I care too much about myself to start caring about you again.
Giving you a second chance would mean forgiving you and Im not ready to forgive you.
What you did was unacceptable.
Im not about to reassure you everything is okay when that isnt the case.
You havent even given me a proper apology yet.
You havent realized the weight of what you put me through.
It doesnt seem right for you to get off consequence-free while Im still suffering.
It doesnt seem fair.
Giving you a second chance would mean making an embarrassment of myself.
My friends wouldnt understand why someone as seemingly strong as me would take back someone as toxic as you.
They would start looking at me differently.
Iwould start looking atmyselfdifferently.
I dont want to be the girl who keeps going back to the boy who doesnt deserve her.
I want to set a good example.
I want to remind others, and myself, to stay confident.
Im not going to settle for less than I deserve even if that means turning away love.
After all, theres better love out there.
Giving you a second chance would mean getting screwed over again.
I would love to believe things are going to be different a second time around but thats not realistic.
I know whats going to happen if you walk back into my world.
Youre going to crush me as violently as the last time.
Youre going to make me feel like a fool for trusting you.
So Im not going to trust you.
Im not going to give you a second chance.
If youre upset about that, you probably shouldnt have messed up the first time.
