He's gonna be all down and sad and depressed in front of you. He's gonna binge on alcohol and cigarettes. He's gonna make you think he's gonna do something bad to himself. He'll follow you around with that sad puppy dog look on his face, and let you know exactly how the world is no longer the way it used to be when you were close to him. He'll sleep at your house outside on the sofa every night just so that he's the first thing you see every morning.

And you'll give in. You'll comfort yourself by saying he's the only guy who accepts you for who you are. You know he will never say anything hurtful to you, even though you deserve it. You think that 'oh, he loves me for who I am' because he doesn't point out your faults. You never did like that, did you, even though it was for better? You'd rather make excuses for the things that you do that aren't right, because you're just too scared of changing. And you will start liking him again because he is exactly what you want; someone who whispers in your ear the words you want to hear.

But you can only sweep things under the carpet for so long. And someday, many of your actions will come back to haunt you. Sparing yourself from short-term hurt won't protect you from the long-term consequences.

And when finally your small illusion of a perfect life comes crashing down (again), I will try not to say I Told You So.






Of course, I am totally wrong. But it just so happens that everything I thought would happen before has already come to pass.

To be trusted is a greater compliment then being loved. - George MacDonald, Scottish writer and poet


EDIT 06.07.2009:

Now that was some emo-charged rubbish.

It doesn't meat it's all correct. It doesn't mean it's all wrong either.

Only time will tell.

Then we shall see who got the better deal.
