I’m not going to text you because I’ve been learning how to control my impulses, how to listen to my head over my heart, how to take a step back and ask myself whether I’m doing the right thing or the most tempting thing.

“

I’m fun to fuck — but not to fuck over. 

“

I should have realized I was asking the absolute minimum from you — and you couldn’t even give me that.

“

Sometimes, you should take their silence as a hint to delete their number.

“I’m not ready for a relationship right now.”

“

I don’t want to feel this powerless. I don’t want to care this much about someone. I don’t want to get this excited when I see a stupid text.

“

On my rough days, the days when I feel lonely and isolated, the days when the voice in the back of my head assures me that nobody cares about me, you have no idea how much a simple text means to me. 

“

Tell me about a time where you thought of me and it made you smile. Tell me about a time where it made you sad. 

“

You promised yourself that you would never text him again. 

“

I care about you.
