Hes comfortable, hes what youve known, hes what you want.
But hes not what you need.

You want those strong arms wrapped around your middle.

You want that sideways grin, that contagious laugh that always brings a smile to your face.
You want those dangerous eyes, always switching their focus between you and someone else.
You know that hes not right for you, but you cant help but long for him.
You put your trust in his hands and watched helplessly as it slipped through his fingers.
You cried as he walked away and didnt even give a shot to pick up the broken pieces.
You pretend you dont notice him absentmindedly scrolling through his phone when hes with you.

You ignore the messages from other women that are constantly filling his screen.
For some reason you convinced yourself hes a good guy underneath his layers.
Yet youre convinced that somewhere inside of are true feelings for you.
You know that day wont ever come, yet you keep holding on.
You stand on the sidelines as he flirts with other women.
You watch him playfully kiss and laugh and live as if you dont exist.
You stare at yourself in the mirror and wonder whats wrong with you.
You enjoy the familiarity and dont want this to change.
Youre scared of the unknown.
Youre nervous that when you truly let go, you wont find anyone else.
Because once you walk away, you are free.
He has the potential of being a good person, we all do.
But hes not living up to that kind of man.
Youve given him chances, youve stood by his side and encouraged him to rise.
Youve given yourself, over and over, only to end up empty.
And its finally time to let go.
You dont deserve a half-hearted love.
You dont deserve someone who can only promise you pieces and not the whole.
You dont deserve someone whos walking around investing time in other someones.
You dont deserve a person who cant commit.
But honey, you deserve real love.
And this is not it.
So I hope you choose to walk away.
I hope you remind yourself of your worth.
I hope you find the courage to seek true happiness and not settle for anything less.
