When I say I don’t have time for relationships anymore, what I mean is I don’t have time for:
meaningless texts,
calls,
& FaceTimes.
Those “Come Thru, just so I can use you because I’m lonely” type of people.
I don’t have time for useless dates & indecisiveness, I don’t have time to fall for someone
only to end up
landing flat on my face,
drowning in the deepest parts of my emotions.
I don’t have time for: “maybe,”
“I think so,”
“I’m not sure.”
I don’t have time to waste any more time.
I can’t see myself opening up letting my walls down
only to end up wishing
I would’ve built them 1,000,000,000 feet higher.
I know it's selfish for me to be this way, but every time I try
it always ends the same.
Maybe I’m the one to blame, but then again,
I could very well say
you guys made me this way.
I’m not completely writing off relationships. I’m MORE CAUTIOUS,
caring for ME
& my MENTAL HEALTH.
