I wont wait for you because Id lose respect for myself.

Waste means to progressively become weaker, and lets be honest, thats exactly what were doing here.

I could spend my days waiting for you to come around, and you just might.

I Won’t Wait For You

Lisa Fotios

Either way, I would never get this time back.

I could never undo sleepless nights and anxious days.

I cant go back and tell myself that waiting isnt worth the effort.

I cant even take that time back so that I can reinvest it in someone else.

So no, I wont wait for you.

I wont wait for you because Id be missing out on life.

I mean, of course, you thought it did.

Why else would you expect me to wait?

But waiting deteriorates my quality of life.

I just cant allow you to take that kind of toll on me.

I cant live a life of uncertainty while waiting for you to choose me.

I wont wait for you because Id lose respect for myself.

Self-respect is pride and confidence in oneself, and right now I dont feel like I have either.

Waiting on you puts me in a dark place.

I hate that you make me feel like Im not enough.

I hate that you make me feel like I deserve this treatment.

I hate questioning myself.

Waiting on you made me hate myself.

I wont wait for you because I refuse to settle for less.

Settling is an action taken when someone feels comfortable in a particular place or position.

I know you dont want to hear this but Im not comfortable with waiting on you.

The moment that I become comfortable is the moment that waiting becomes the new norm for me.

Im not open to accepting the fact that my patience is being taken for granted.

I cannot commit to a situation of uncertainty.

I wont wait for you because you wouldnt wait for me.

Waiting is an action one takes to stay or delay actions until a particular time or something else happens.

What am I even waiting for?

When will the time ever come?

What is supposed to happen?

Do you have any of these answers?

Oh, you dont know…sounds about right.

Would you wait on me though?

No…I saw this coming.

You need this time to do your own thing, right?

What happens when I need time to do my own things?

Id be wasting your time, and your time is far too precious to waste.

Sounds familiar to me.

You have too much pride to wait but if I dont then I must be selfish.

Clearly, youre right.

I am selfish, so no, I wont wait on you.
