it's okay, just

Give up.

Not because you failed.
Not because you're too weak.
Not because you're undeserving.
Not even because you're tired.
Or sad.

Give up because you've been fighting for the wrong thing.
I know you don't like to admit that, after three years of trying.
You chose wrong. You were fighting for nothing.
You were wasting your time.

Not because you failed to "convince him."
But because he doesn't deserve you.

And you don't say that because you're angry.
You're not.
You just suddenly realize that that's true.

So you've learned something. And you'll wait.
And you won't settle until you find someone who picks you up in every way that he let you down.

The bravest thing,
the strongest thing,
the right thing,
is to give up.
