Like or Love, it's over Part 3

Like or Love or None of the above.
Is it like or is it love.
The feeling you get when you're around someone.
What about the feeling you don't get when you're around them.
The times they've hurt you so bad you question yourself, "Why am I here."
The times they've told you they'll be there, but they weren't.
Or the times they showed up late to your event.
That's love right? At least like?
We are human. We make mistakes.
We forgive. But never forget.
And the relationship will repair itself.
Forgiveness is a beautiful thing.
So we stay.

"Fool me once, shame on them. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Scars. Scars remind us of our broken hearts.
Scars remind us our broken hearts were once torn apart.
Afraid, Weak, Scarred, that is what we are.
Nobody likes to live alone. Nobody likes to be alone.
So we stay committed to something half committed.
We commit to the one thing we believe will change.
We stay committed to the one person you believe is different.
We stay committed because it's the one thing we hope for.
And in order to stay committed, we ask ourselves the question.
Is it worth it.
Do the gains exceed the pain.
Do the desires exceed the needs.
We think we love them, We tell ourselves we love them.
But we don't love em. We don't even like em'
We tell ourselves we love em' so we won't leave.
We tell them we love em' so they won't leave.
Is it Like ? Is it Love.

Our insecurities about ourselves and that one person become our closest friends problems.
Our insecurities are questioned to our friends.
"Tell me now what you see."
We believe their experience will cover our inexperience.
We believe because they know us, they will choose for us.
They are the third party in the relationship, so they will be neutral.
Wrong.
They are for us because they are our friend, that is why we went to them.
So instead, we go to someone who we call our acquaintance.
We share, we ask, we question.
What do we do, have you ever been in this situation, what's going to happen.?
But you have already answered that question.
You don't realize that everything you expressed is every reason to leave.
And you rebuttal because you believe they can change.
But you've already been down this road before.
And if you're driving down the same road in the wrong direction, you know one things for sure.
You have to turn around.

Is it like or is it love.
The reason you stay. Stay miserable.
Maybe your comfortable. Maybe you offer another chance.
Maybe your wrong, maybe your friend is wrong. They will change.
They've done it before. It's just a mistake.
And we should forgive the ones we love.
Right?

How long are you going to replay that.
How long are you going to stay.
How long are you willing to stay.
The measure of your love isn't measure by the time you stay.
Ask yourself, are you happy.
Ask yourself, why aren't you happy.
The only reason you're not leaving is because your comfortable.
The only reason you're not staying is because it's too complicated to leave.
My bank accounts shared with his.
What about our future vacation.
What about our mutual friends, what would they say?
Shouldn't I sacrifice just one more time?

Is it Like or is it love?
It's over.
Face the facts and face reality.
The one thing you were holding on to isn't worth holding on to.
It doesn't matter what she says, he says.
It doesn't matter what I say.
At the end of the day, what you want isn't what you have.
What you want is more than what you have.
People will always offer their opinions, their advice.
Should you listen? Yeah.
But you're not making the decision for them.
You're making the decision for you.
You don't stay because they want you there.
You don't stay because you don't want to be there.
Do you love them? Yeah.
Are you in love with them? Well, if you've gotten this far, NO.
How long are you going to stay until YOU change.

Is it Like or is it love?
It's none of the above.
There are over 6 billion people in this world.
There's more than just one right person.
You just haven't found them yet.
Stop living comfortable.
Stop being scared.
Stop being lazy.
Learn from your mistakes.
Because you never realize what life has more to offer.
Chase your dreams. Follow Your heart.
Not your friends, not mine. Nobody else's.
Blessings are a gift and we shouldn't put a question mark where God put a period.
At the end of the day, the only person in the relationship is you.
The only person in charge of your life is you.
Do something about it.
