When he said....

When he said that he would never see her (the other woman) again, you thought it was over. When he said that he and her (the other woman) are just friends, you didn't understand. When he said that he want to be with you and start things over, you gave him another chance. When he said she (the other woman) needs his help, you wondered why is he contemplating, If He Loved You!

When he made the decision to extend his helping hand to the other woman, you saw that his words were words only to you- words with no meaning. You saw that he only cared about himself and the other woman. You saw that you have no place in his life and possibly never will. You saw that you can not continue to put your life on hold, your love on standby, and your feelings on not today. You saw that - you saw that- now take what you saw and drop it in your lessons learned box.

The next time, if there is such a time, when he begins to say - STOP him in his tracks, and you say, love is more than an emotion; it is an emotion that compels a person to act on the behalf of another. Your actions towards me have shown me that I am not the receiver of your love; therefore, I can not reciprocate what I haven't received. In other words, I don't love you, it's over!
