You will not find better.

This is to the guy that slipped through my fingers, because he didn’t want to take a chance on me;
That got my hopes up, and in turn let me fall back on my own, because I was his game and he got bored;
That asked me out, but then was too busy to follow through, because I wasn’t worth of his spare time;
That stayed in contact, but would disappear when he got too close, because he didn’t want to be that serious;
That admitted he had feelings, but never took the time to show them, because he didn’t want to make time for it;
That let me see the good side of him, and then let me crash into the dark side, because he didn’t want to admit he wasn’t made of stone;
That made me open myself up in ways I didn’t think I could anymore, but was busy shutting himself off from doing the same, because he didn’t want to get hurt too;
That gave me such a temporary high, just to bring me to such a deep low, because he didn’t realize he could get to me like that;
That felt I was good enough for a sleepover, but not a night out on the town, because that would be admitting there could be a future;
That may read this and question if it’s about him, because there are so many more of you, than there are of us;
This is to all the guys out there that are not giving girls chances, but complain that they can't find one, because they are too scared to take a chance.
They say that good guys only get crazy girls, because that is what they want the world to believe;
That are toying with girls emotions, because they aren’t exactly sure what they want;
That don’t think before they speak, because they are more concerned about themselves instead of someone else;
That think they can find better, because the attention we give them boosts their ego;
That are just looking for attention, because they think it is better than actually taking the chance on someone;
That think they know what they are doing, but really have no idea;
That think they know her, instead of trying to learn, because all of us “good” girls are all the same;
To all the guys out there that haven’t taken a chance on a girl, because they think they know better;
From all of us good girls, you missed out.
You will not find better. This is why you are alone.
We would have given you a second chance.
Don’t mess up on the next one, if there is a next one.
We are worth the risk.
From all of us good girls, f*** you.
