You warned me so many times. You told me from the start that you did not want anything serious but for some reason, I stuck around. From the minute we started talking, I knew there was something about you that would keep me around. I get it. You’ve had bad experiences with relationships, but not every relationship is the same. What I don’t understand is why would you take your time to text me every morning, talk to me all day, and go out of your way to come and see me every time you got a chance. After all this, you still claim that you don't want a relationship.

Please just tell me one thing. Why is it so hard to just commit to something? You take me on the cutest dates, you hold my hand in public and call me baby in every sentence. If you asked me, I’d say we’re basically in a relationship, so what’s the problem with making it official now and getting it over with? I know, the whole distance thing is tough, you’re going back to school and have so much more on your plate, but somehow within those things, I can’t seem to find a valid reason for your choices.

When we first started talking, I was so happy because we had such a great connection and I actually thought this was going somewhere. I remember that big smile that appeared on my face whenever you would text or call, and the butterflies I got whenever you called me beautiful. When you confessed your feelings for me I was so happy I couldn’t contain myself. I was beyond excited and I could see us being together for a long time and being happy, but boy was I wrong.

I remember you saying “ I don’t want a relationship right now, but maybe later I will, so I want you to stick around” and to be honest, that made me feel horrible. I wasn’t exactly excited about the idea of having to stick around and wait until you decided that you were ready to commit. What if I did decide to stick around and then it ended up not working out? How many opportunities would I be missing out on because of my loyalty to you? I have no idea. But I refuse to put up with it anymore.

You’ve got to understand that this is tough for me, and it will be for every other girl you do this to in the future. You play this game with me day in and day out. Make me think that we are in a relationship, and there are no words to describe the amount of pain you are putting me through.

Throughout everything, I had so much respect and care for you, but you never had the same for me. I can't say that I regret having you in my life because really, you’ve taught me quite a bit about boys. Now I know better. Most of all, thank you for showing me that I deserve so much better than you.
