i. i will not compete with other people for your attention. ii. i will not compete with other people for your affection. iii. i will not compete with other people for your time. iv. i will not compete with other people for your love. v. i will not compete for you. vi. you are not a prize, you are a person. you have agency. and no matter how fast i run, if you want me to win, i will; and if you don’t, i won’t. so, darling, i will not compete. if for you love is a chase, it’s not worth my victory.

every game has rules and love is the most dangerous game of all
i. i will not compete with other people for your attention. ii. i will not compete with other people for your affection. iii. i will not compete with other people for your time. iv. i will not compete with other people for your love. v. i will not compete for you. vi. you are not a prize, you are a person. you have agency. and no matter how fast i run, if you want me to win, i will; and if you don’t, i won’t. so, darling, i will not compete. if for you love is a chase, it’s not worth my victory.
