Be Careful, Girl: He Warned You.

The very first thing he said was, “I don’t know what I want.”
And you ignored it. Completely.

For a while, it disappears.
He seems to ignore it too.
Everything flows effortlessly.
Like if we were a healthy system?
You wouldn’t recognize one.
Like perfect puzzle pieces falling into place.

Whatever was said in the beginning, it’s fine, it’s behind you.
It didn’t even matter; who cares?
You didn’t even know what you wanted either.
You were bored, he was fun.
But not just fun, right?
There was something different about him.
He caught your attention.

And the real problem?
He understood every single one of your thoughts.
When was the last time you felt so cared for?
So seen?

It was just his defense mechanism, right?
Right!? Right!??
Please, be right. You need to be right.
Could that thought change?
Could he?

But — once again — he told you.
“I don’t think I’m capable of love anymore.”

He said it.

Love? Who said anything about love?
…You like him, don’t you?
More than you wanted to.

Why do you stay? You ask yourself.
It just feels right, right?
You feel happy again, there’s a spark in your eyes, a smile you haven’t worn in too long.
And you owe him that, don’t you?
He must be doing something right.
It’s just so easy with him, and that terrifies you.
You were too hurt, it took you long to heal.

Be careful, girl!!

What he said … It didn’t matter, did it?
You just went along.
You want him today.
And today is all you have.
Today, you love him.
And today, he loves you back.
But he did tell you.
Could you pretend he didn’t?
