INCONSISTENCY

We are not kids anymore

We are too grown for this

Your actions don’t match your words

And I can’t decipher what you are thinking.

I am not a mind reader

And if we can’t even have a conversation

About how you feel

Then what’s the point?

I feel like I’m constantly chasing you

And that this isn’t really a priority for you

At this point in our lives, given how busy we both are

Neither of us can afford to let an inconsistent “relationship” drag on

I need to be with someone who is consistent and fully committed

Someone who inspires me and challenges me

And you need someone who lets you be yourself, who won’t want to change you

You are definitely entitled to that

If this isn’t what you want, if there is someone out there you feel is better for you

Don’t hold on to this because you don’t want to hurt me

I would rather you just be honest with me and let’s keep it moving

I appreciate that so much more and I won’t hold it against you

If initially you thought you could do this, but now you’re not so sure

That’s okay too. It’s just human nature. All I want is for you to be honest.

Because if this is what you wanted, you would be giving it your 100%

We’ve been through this before, and I can’t accept less than full effort

So let’s call a spade a spade

And agree to let this thing go. 

And to whomever you ultimately wish to end up with

Don’t keep them waiting forever

When you find that person that does it for you, act immediately

Don’t second guess and toss and turn

Just act

Don’t do this thing you often do in relationships where when you are tired of being in it, you are too afraid to break up with the person so you withdraw and frustrate them to the point that they break up with you

It is not cool

Don’t be a coward and perpetually test the waters

Take the bold step, take the risk and commit! Then follow through
