The Worst Kind of Cruelty

We’ve all been in that relationship. The one we know we shouldn’t be in. The one our friends tell us to get the hell out of. The one where we feel like we’re not being valued like we should. The one where the other person doesn’t realize how fucking lucky they are to be with us. The one where we don’t realize how fucking stupid we are to be wasting our time. Because this person doesn’t really care. They may think they do and they may try to convince you but you know deep down, with every fiber of your being that they don’t. Not enough. Sometimes all it take is a look or a word and you know. When it comes to love, there is no room for indifference. Sometimes indifference is the worst kind of cruelty.

So why do we stay in the game? Because we want to win? Because we’re in love? Because we want so desperately for something to work in our lives? Because it’s an addiction? Because we like to punish ourselves? Whatever the reason. One day it happens.

We wake up and we realize that we can’t take anymore. That it’s over. That we’re out. Because we deserve so much better than indifference. Because true love is worth waiting for. And we’re not about to waste our time on anything less. Because life is too short. And we matter too much to be treated like less than perfection.

And that is the best fucking feeling in the world.

If that's the kind of love you give me,

I'd rather be alone, believe me,

If that's the way you're gonna treat me,

I'd rather walk away.
