Why?
did I try
so hard all those
years, giving more every
day, staying up late each and every
night, trying to cover the distance created
when one person only is willing to give ten percent
to the other's one-hundred and ninety but ending up only
with tears, tears, tears, and then no more because
there is a limit to how much one can cry ( )
Why did I try so hard to hear those
three magical words from
someone who was
not you?
You.

A painful piece, I hate that feeling, being the one who cares more in a relationship, it's awful, so I don't, I only will be in a relationship if it's healthy and equal.
I liked the bitter undertones.

This is really good, I agree with Versonnen, it's sucky.

It is really difficult and certainly unfair to have a relationship when the other is not reciprocating, then again it tends to tell one how serious the other is about the relationship...and they obviously are not serious if they cannot make the effort to keep things going (And to be frank when in love it should be effortless because it shouldn't be like a chore to love someone, it should be something that is desired to be done) But I know how it feels to love someone so much, you don't want to give up on being together despite the other seems to have already. This is really well written and I like the way it has been formatted into like an arrow on the page, cheers for the read, hope all is well now :)~
