Everyone loves the chase. We all look for someone that keeps us guessing, keeps us on our toes because we all love a challenge. Someone who is a little out of reach and makes them work for their attention, that is the kind of person we all think that we want.
That isn't who she is. She makes it so clear how she feels about you every time you are with her. You can read her like a book, you always know her next move before she makes it. With her, nothing is ever complicated but is so simple.
You know that every text will be answered, every call will be picked up by the second ring. It's getting old and you aren't being challenged in the way you think you need to be. So you come in and out of her life as you want. Some days you might actually miss her, some days you just reach out to see if she will answer.
You play the game well. Texting and not responding. Making plans and then canceling or not showing up. Opening messages or snaps and putting your phone down, because you can. You like her when you're bored, but ignore her when you're busy. You play the game of give and take, but you're always the one taking – never giving.
Thoughts constantly cross your mind like, "How little can I give her, how far can I push her and how much can I get away with?" You like knowing that she cares and will be there for you regardless of how you treat her.
But, she knows what you're doing and one day she's going to get tired of it. Even the best of people with the purest intentions get tired of waiting for what they deserve. She's going to say to herself "I gave him my best and I have nothing else to give him." And it will be in that moment that she stops trying. She will walk away regretfully because she still cares but she knows she has no power in keeping you around.
You won't know that this day has come until you text her and get no response. Or maybe you'll cross paths and realize she sees right through you, instead of jumping at your presence. That's when you will miss her the most, when she's standing a foot in front of you but she isn't yours anymore.
If you care a little but not enough, my advice to you (if you haven't already lost her), take a chance on her. She might not be able to give you a chase, but there's something special about a girl who loves with her heart on her sleeve. That is the kind of love that changes you.
Girls like her come once or twice in a lifetime, if you're lucky. Don't lose her.
