Ive been played before by men.

Ive been lied to, put second, been manipulated and used.

Ive been looked at as something to attain.Never again.

But not just reciprocated… appreciated and respected.

I will not ignore when things dont sit right in my gut.

Ive been chased before by someone who was so interested in being part of my life.

But I finally learned.

It took time to understand and time to prepare myself for future experiences with lessons learned.

To understand that love between two people is also mutual respect for one another.

They would never want their partner to feel manipulated or played.

I pray the man I give my heart to next will love me wholeheartedly as I love him.

That he will stand by my side through my struggles and my triumphs.

That I will finally have the love I deserve.

Because although I have before, I will not settle.Never again.
