Relationships…

In love and life don't ever play games. If you love someone, TELL them,
if you don't, TELL them. The human heart is a very complex thing in that
it makes us do the strangest things when it reaches a point of desperation
especially when we are hurting. I'm sure many of us have reached that
point where we find ourselves attacking the competition "in the name of
LOVE" even attacking the object of your affection.

At the end of it all, relationships, whether friendships or romance, need
two elements to survive - COMMUNICATION and COMPROMISE and it needs
another two elements two fall apart - PRIDE AND STUPIDITY.

Too proud to say I'm sorry, too proud to say I'm hurting, too proud to say
I'm feeling a little insecure. And so stupid, stupid enough to let them go
because you think they will be back, stupid enough not to tell them that
you love them because you think they will stick around longer if you play
hard to get, stupid enough not to answer their calls when you have a fight
because you want to make them hurt and you want to teach them a lesson
they'll never forget. Watch out you are not the one who learns a lesson.
If it's worth a great person walking out of your life, possibly for good,
then by all means knock yourself out.

But don't cry when that person never calls again, or finds solace in
another's arms, or throws themselves off a twenty story building because
the pain you were causing them was too much to bear.

Don't cry when a beautiful relationship is broken and can't be fixed
because YOU chose to play games instead of laying your cards on the table
and working it out. Say exactly what you feel and ask exactly what you
want to know. No matter how STUPID you sound. At least you will know
exactly where you stand.

And even if after you've poured your heart and it still doesn't work out,
you will be at peace because you know you did your best on your part.
Your conscience will be clear and you will move on knowing that you
didn't go down without a fight.

Loving someone is not a game.

People are not pyramids; you can't go off on your own selfish trip and
expect to find them in the exact same spot you left them weeks ago. If
you don't take care of your partners needs when they need you to, what
guarantee do you have that somebody else won't.

So when you find your partner in your best friend's arms or hear they are
getting married to someone you thought was just a "rebound trip" after you
let them go without a fight:

Don't cry, 'cause while you were busy playing games.......

SOMEBODY ELSE WASN'T
