Stop thinking about what would happen if you had a second chance with them.
But that is a dangerous way to think.
If you want to move on, you have to stop hoping.

Hoping that they will realize they made the biggest mistake of their life by leaving you.
Hoping that they will explain why they did what they did to you.
Hoping that they will come crawling back to you so you could start all over again.
You have to swap out that senseless hope for acceptance.
Accept that you loved them, but they left you anyway.
Accept that you gave them everything you had, but they never appreciated you.

They never valued you.
They took you for granted.
They led you on.
They broke your heart.
Yes, you deserve an apology.
Yes, you deserveclosure.
But that doesnt mean you are going to get those things.
They are gone now.
They are never coming back.
So stop thinking about what would happen if you ran into them again.
Stop thinking about what you would say if they texted you out of the blue.
Stop thinking about what would happen if you had a second chance with them.
The truth is that they dont deserve asecond chance.
They dont deserve to hold your heart in their hands again.
They dont deserve everything that you are.
They already had their chance and they blew it.
They didnt realize how good they had it and now they are paying the price.
Even though you want them, that doesnt mean that you are meant to be with them.
Raise your standards higher than they used to be back when you were together.
From here on out, refuse to accept the kind of treatment they gave you.
Never settle for someone who fails to see what a catch you are.
Promise yourself that you will stop waiting for the day that they come back and enjoy the moment instead.
Promise yourself that you will stop replaying memories in your head, torturing yourself with the past.
They are never coming back.
And even if theytryto return, that doesnt mean you should let them.
