Stop texting him first every single time.
Stop trying to resurrect conversations after he lets them die.
Stop accepting his one-word answers and two-day late replies.

Stop going down on him when he refuses to do the same for you.
Stop letting him get away with using you as an object.
Stop lying about how much you like his favorite bands.
Stop watching his favorite shows, just so you have something to talk about with him.
Stop trying to be someone youre not for earn a sliver of his attention.
Stop sending him good morning texts when you know he wont respond.

Stop inviting him out when you know hes going to cancel two minutes before youre supposed to meet him.
Stop giving him more chances than he deserves.
Stop dressing up every time you expect to run into him.
Stop uploading pictures toInstagramand repeatedly refreshing the page to see if helikedit yet.
Stop trying your hardest to impress him when he obviously doesnt care about what you think of him.
Stop pretending that you believe him when he gives a bullshit excuse about why hes been MIA.
Stop acting like you didnt notice him flirt with the waitress or that close female friend.
Stop dropping your standards so that you have a chance with him.
Stop rewriting texts twenty times before sending, because hes only going to glance at the words anyway.
Stop replaying old conversations in your head, because he isnt even going to remember them an hour later.
Stop being the girl who puts intoo much effort, because youre wasting your time.
At least, right now you are.
You should set aside time for him and plan romantic dates.
You should remember his favorite candies and surprise him with them.
You should text him good morning, good night, and everything in between.
He will be putting in just as much effort as you are.
But right now, that isnt happening.
Your attention is being abused.
This boy doesnt deserve your effort.
He doesnt appreciate your effort.
He is taking every word you say to him for granted.
It wouldnt matter to him whether you stay or leave.
Whether you text him first or never text again.
Stop being the girl who puts too much effort into a one-sided relationship, because its draining you.
Because its unfair to you.
Because you dont have to put yourself through this hell.
Because you deserve so much more than this.
