Man, he needed my excellent love. Because he now finally understands how awesome I am! The headaches, sleeplessness nights and low moments seem to be all wrong. Because I have been slow to discover how I work and why I do the things I do is no reason why we should allow this special thing between us to disappear.
This one really hooked me. We are good for each other. Please, give me a chance. I thought about it for five minutes. Then I gave him another chance. How did it go?
You desire connectedness, intimacy, commitment, longevity. What works for you does not work for him. Richard Gere came to his senses after he dumped Debra Winger. He rushed to her factory to whisk her away to a future with him as loving, sexy and pouncy as a cat-on-a-hot-tin-roof.

We often think the devil or the bad guy is easy to spot, but often times the person who ruins you is the one who sneaks up on you pretending to be everything you want.

The type that left me high but as I came down from that high as they tiptoed out of my apartment I began to realize how lonely I was. The person who taught me love meant enduring pain.
Because the truth is when you invest so much time and energy into someone you want to be right about them. You want to stick it to everyone that they were wrong. But the truth is we hang onto toxic people because we mistake this horrible relationship for love. I was happy putting my best into someone when in reality the right person would have met me half way. There is a sick thrill that comes in almost getting it right.
