pride vs. love

 

but you never gave up on me. even when anyone else would walk away or stop trying, you never gave up on me. and i not only respect you for that, i admire you for that. i didn't have to say i wanted it, you knew. i never had to say i wanted to, you said it for me.

you didn't always believe me, but you didn't believe me at the right times.

but the one thing that you've kept believing, is the one thing that's keeping us apart.

the one thing you can't tell i'm not sincere about, is the only thing that you've believed that you shouldn't have.

and i don't know if i'll ever tell, i don't know if you'll never know.

you'll never tell, but i won't you to know that i can see it.

and even though it hurts to see how you want it, to hear how you want it, our stubborness is keeping us apart.

both of us are scared to get hurt, scared to hurt each other.

we're both scared to take a risk, even though all we ever do is tell each other to.

i've heard more than once, the only guy that deserves to have you

is the one that never thought he could.

you don't think you can, and my pride's keeping me from telling you you're wrong.

because to some extent, it's nice to be the hard-to-get girl.

it's fun.

it's fun to be off limits, to be gazed at, to be scared of.

but that gets us nowhere in the end

i don't know if that's what i want,

i don't know if pride is worth it.

but for now i won't say anything,

because if it's meant to happen,

love will find a way.
