โI chose you.โ
Not because you were the only option. Not because I didnโt have anyone else to choose from. I chose you because your arms are where I want to be, your eyes are the ones I want to get lost in, your voice is the one I could listen to for hours, and your smile is the one I never seem to get tired of. I chose you deliberately. And Iโd choose you again.
Iโm learning that just because I care deeply about something or someone doesnโt mean I have to give it everything I have.
I used to lead with maximum effort and hope it would eventually be reciprocated.
Now, I pay attention to whatโs actually being given, meet people and situations where they are, and let consistency determine how much of me they get.
A LOT of MEN will stay loyal to a WOMAN long after that WOMAN stopped giving him reasons to be loyal. ๐ฏ That is how deep some MEN love. HE'll defend her. Support her. Cover for her. Believe in her. Give her another chance when HE probably shouldn't. But don't mistake that loyalty for FOREVER. Every MAN has a LIMIT. Once HE reaches that point, HE doesn't need convincing to leave. HE already knows. HE just finally got tired of arguing with himself about it. ๐ฏ
