She’s not the kind of girl you put on your “roster” or decide to only see sometimes. The universe isn’t going to throw her at you twice. She’s the kind of girl you lock down as soon as you can. That’s the problem. You know that. You sense it; even if you aren’t ready or can’t give her what she needs. You try. And you fail. Inevitably she gets spooked and you lose her anyway.

She doesn’t need you. She doesn’t need me, or you, or him. Never has and never will. She wants you. She wants you and she isn’t afraid to tell you that; to show you that. She’s not someone you can game; or a game you can play. She doesn’t play.

She takes her love seriously with a side of whimsy. She wants it all and she wants it now. Play with her and she’ll get tired. She'll walk away. She’ll try to poke and **** you in the right direction, but if you take too long you’ll lose her. She knows what she wants and she knows what you want. She knows it better than you do. That’s why you want her. That’s why you want nothing to do with her.
