To The Boy Who Takes Girls For Granted

There's a difference between someone who wants you and someone who would do anything to keep you. If I have to beg for your attention, I don't ever want it.

To The Boy Who Takes Girls For Granted

I trusted you. Gave you my heart to protect and honor and you treated it like it was a piece of garbage. I thought you would take care of me, but you didn't.


It's so difficult to realize after all the defending I did for you, telling people you weren't a certain way, or you wouldn't do that to me. Thinking you wouldn't be the person that my peers were telling me about. It sucked finding out they were right all along.


I thought there was something worth fighting for. I thought that something romantic would happen and you would sweep me off my feet. But there is nothing nice about having to continuously convince someone to love you.


You tortured me through everything and I was foolish enough to call it love.


You took me for granted, I thought you were the kindest and sweetest guy, that's why I let you treat me the way you did. I gave you chance after chance and didn't neglect you with anything I had. You just took it without a care in the world. Just like that.


There's a difference between someone who wants you and someone who would do anything to keep you. If I have to beg for your attention, I don't ever want it.


The problem with us was you cared too little and I cared way too much. When it was killing me inside I had to play it off like I didn't care, when in reality I spent most of the time altering myself to hopefully make you like me more. I'd rather have nobody, then someone who is half there, or doesn't want to be there at all.


Some people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself. Not everything is rainbows and butterflies or long lasting. My biggest omission was thinking you had the same feeling I had for you. I think the greatest thing you ever taught me was you can give so much of yourself to someone, and it still won't be enough.


You probably still like me, you probably still don't know what you want. You probably miss me one day then say you're better off the next, but that isn't what matters. What matters is that you're not doing anything about it. I want someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want me in their life.


You only want me when it is convenient for you.


If you absolutely wanted to give me affection, then you wouldn't make me beg for it. When you realize that you actually wanted me to stay around, you'll realize you only have yourself to blame.


I am worth it. Always have been always will be.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
