After it took you years to move on.
After it took all the strength you had to get back up.
Sometimes they come back when youve finally realized that you deserve better.That you deserve someone who accepts you.
God & Man
Someone who chooses you.
Someone who doesnt need to lose you to make it appreciate you.
Someone who doesnt put everything else above you.
Sometimes they come back when youre with someone else.Because they like to ruin things for you.
Because they thought youdwaitforever.
Because they were too self-centered and thought youd never find anyone better than them.
God & Man
Because they thought that you would always settle when it comes to love.
Because they thought theyd always get away with anything, given what you taught them.
Sometimes they come back when youre doing great things.Just to be a part of your story.
Just to feel special that youll always leave the door open for them.
They want your validation because you no longer need theirs.
Sometimes they come back because theyre genuinely sorry.They realized they messed up.
The timing is now right for them.
Theyre ready for someone like you.
They want to start over because theyve changed and they want to make things right again.
But nine times out of ten they come back when you no longer want them.
They come back when its too late.
They come back when the damage is already done.
They come back when you figured out how to live andthrivewithout them.
They come back when you no longer miss their touch.
When you no longer want to hear their voice.
When you no longer need their support.
When you no longer look for a home in them.
They come back when they can sense that yourself-loveis enough to get you by.
They come back when you start acting the way they used to act with you.
And they remind you of the person you used to be with them.
They remind you of the tears and the pain and the heartbreak.
They remind you of a past you never want to revisit.
They come back when youre the one whos ready to leave.
When you forgave them but dont want them back.
They come back when they discover that their absence made your life a thousand times better.
