“Not good for you.”
“Might hurt you.”
“You deserve better.”
Interesting words to discover only after getting comfortable with someone’s attention, time, affection, and trust.
Unlimited calls don’t happen by accident.
Constantly seeking someone’s presence doesn’t happen by accident.
Wanting their attention, their trust, their pictures, their affection — none of that happens by accident.
So don’t rewrite the story afterwards and call it care.
If someone truly believed they were capable of hurting another person, the mature thing would’ve been to step back before taking everything they were offered.
Not after.
It’s easy to suddenly become “self-aware” when the desire has been satisfied. It’s easy to call distance “protection” when staying would require accountability.
And it’s very easy to say “you deserve better” when admitting “I knew what I was doing” would sound much uglier.
Someone’s feelings are not a waiting room to sit in until loneliness passes.
And that’s the part people conveniently leave out.
Don’t enter someone’s life because you’re lonely, make them feel chosen because you’re bored, take their affection because it feels good, and then disappear behind the excuse of “I’m protecting you.”
That isn’t protection.
That’s using someone and dressing the guilt up as maturity.
There’s a difference between being incapable of loving someone properly and knowingly taking their love anyway.
One deserves understanding.
The other deserves distance.
Because eventually, people stop listening to explanations and start paying attention to patterns.
And patterns rarely lie. So stay real
Want someone for a night? Say it.
Want something serious? Stand by it.
Want attention because the silence feels unbearable? Admit it.
Want someone around only until something better comes along? At least have the decency to say so.
Nobody is asking for a perfect intention. Just an honest one.
Because using someone’s emotions to get your needs met and then calling it “confusion” doesn’t make the situation complicated.
Don’t call that confusion.
Call it what it is.
You knew what they wanted!
You knew what you wanted!
“Might hurt you.”
“You deserve better.”
