When someone tells you they are not interested in a serious relationship, believe them instead of embarking on a quest to change their mind. 

I want a best friend, a lover and someone to call home.

They had no intention of falling in love with each other but it happened anyway.

Being friends with benefits deepened my insecurities. Instead of making me feel more beautiful, having someone around who only liked my body made me feel more self-conscious.

But then they called me your girl.

The way you looked at me started to change.

The implication about women is that they can’t control what feelings they have and they will fall in love with most men they have sex with and then that will hurt them so much it’s not worth the sex.

You try to act casual. You try to act emotionless. You try to act like being just a friend isn’t killing you inside.

While having fun with each other they can purely be honest about their lives and other stuff going on in their lives to each other. Because hey, at the end of the day you are still are great friends and are supposed to be sharing things with each other.

You can’t change people. You can’t change their thinking. You can’t change their feelings. You can’t make someone like you if they don’t, regardless if their actions speak otherwise. And that’s okay.
