I think Its time I give up
You are nice
there is no doubt about
but there is a saying
nice guys finish last
I believe nice guys do not go very far in life
its such a shame
I deserve better
no not in terms of looks money or degree
love actually
I should not have to plead for your love
fragments of your time
sprinkled with affection and meaningful bits of advice
I will no longer hound you with my attempts at romance
my last minute plans for us to spend time together
God knows how much I prayed for "us" to work out
God knows how many tears I have spilled over you
yeah you love me but you aren't sure how to show it
well guess what, you don't have to show anything anymore
Gone are the days where I pestered you to bring something to the table
asked you repeatedly to inject life into our dead relationship
I have learned the cold and hard way that maybe you wont change your ways not because you are stubborn
or do not care
no that's not it
you just think that there is nothing wrong with us
well I am not going to be a bother again
Go on with your day and play your roles
Maybe I will stop feeling
Maybe with time my mind will shift away from the grainy pictures of us
of the way you treated me
even though you claimed that to be your "very best"
I realize now it comes down to me
I am not unfamiliar to being alone
I will relish all the days I have left
