Solitude

My friend is hanging onto a relationship right now. A relationship that is vague, no strings attached but with too many benefits. I don’t know why she’s such a magnet for guys who can’t commit. And why she settles for it. I reprimanded her for always settling for less than what she deserves. She’s on the defense, of course.

I can understand that she’s okay with every thing as long as she’s enjoying it. But she’s always left alone. And hurting afterwards. What’s worse, she has this notion that it’s always her fault. That she pushed all the past boyfriends away. That she instigated the break up and all that. Truth is, she’s dumped. One too many. I feel for her. I know that this is her defense against the hurt that the truth will bring. But she’s always placing herself in a position where she’ll likely get hurt the most.

I’ve said my piece. I’ve done my part. All that’s left for me to do is pray really hard for her to emerge as the victor this time around.
