not always the same thing

Don't waste your time on someone who doesn't

appreciate you the way you should be appreciated.

Don't ever settle for mediocrity,

for being just an option,

for being the one who's just fun to be with,

for being the one who's always there desperately waiting,

for mere concern

or pity

or for someone who likes you just

because he knows he's got the power to break you.

It is better to have nobody

than somebody who is half yours,

half there

or doesn't want to be there,

or is there and then suddenly disappears.

You can be in love

and you can be in a relationship.

But they're not always the same thing.
