Don’t let him go if he’s the one you can’t stop thinking about.

Guys like these get taken advantage of and think they have to change.

We ruin good guys running after the ones who hurt us.

We ruin good guys because they think it’s them that’s doing something wrong.

But in reality, they are doing everything right.

But when you meet a guy like this, they teach you, love isn’t some game to play where your heart is the pawn.

They teach you honesty and vulnerability aren’t a weakness.

They teach you caring is okay.

When you meet the guy who answers immediately without thinking twice about it…

When you meet the guy who never stops trying to win you over even when you’re already his…

When you meet the guy who is good…

Realize his worth.

Because good guys aren’t the ones who need to change.

What needs to change is our appreciation and realization of the ones who might be right under our noses.

Because as much as every girl deserves the best, good guys deserve a pat on the back for being this way.

So don’t let him go.

Because I swear to you if you find a guy like this, you’ll regret ever letting him go. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
