Here's to all the girls who used to be his number one. The ones who waited all night for him to call, only to check the caller ID the next morning & be disappointed .The ones who made it through that bitter break up, dried your own tears, & moved on with your life, only to have him walk back in it like nothing ever happened. Those of you who cried on the first day you talked again because you knew exactly where this phone call was going. We deserve something, and this is our tribute. Here's to the ones that took him back, hoping that maybe this time, he was different, hoping that maybe people really do change. We listened to our friends tell us that we were stupid for even thinking about giving him another chance, and had to listen to our parents preach to us. We went through the great stage with no fights all over again. We started this out thinking it would be just friends, & ended up falling in love with him. We wanted nothing more in the world than to hear him tell us he loved us too, that even though things were bad in the past, they would be different this time. And when we finally heard it, it was like we were dreaming. This is for us. Here's to the ones who believed what he said, sat around all over again waiting for a phone call that might come in a few hours, or a few days. Here's for the tears cried and dried all over again. We wanted so desperately to believe that he was really busy, he couldn't possibly call us at that moment, or even that he fell asleep early.We trained ourselves to believe the lies because we wanted to believe we had found the one for us. We learned to settle for someone who didn't treat us the way we should be treated. Here's for the ones who did their hair and make up & put on their prettiest earrings, only to hear him say that he couldn't see us today. The ones who never believed it when people told us there might be someone else. We just couldn't believe that he could do this to us again. This is for those great girls who loved him more than words can say, & gave him chance after chance no matter what happened last time because they couldn't bear to look back on their lives one day & wonder "what if". The ones who hoped he would realize that he deserved better, that he deserved us. Here's to the girls who couldn't cry to their friends because of how stupid they felt. The ones who held it all in when things came crumbling to pieces again. This is for the ones who couldn't bear to even tell their mom what was going on, for fear of an "I told you so." We knew that we deserved better the entire time, that we deserved a guy who would call when he said he would, come see us whenever he got the chance, one that put his actions over his words. This is for those days spent trying to hold back the tears, & the tears that turned into anger, then disappointment. Think of the broken promises, and the lies, the manipulation & the tears, the wasted moments and staying up all night wondering where he was. Think of how your heart used to jump when your phone would vibrate in the middle of the night & how it fell to your stomach when you saw it wasn't him, and realized that once again, he hadn't called when he said he was going to. You can only push a girl away for so long, until she finally walks out of your life and onto her own, and when she does, she won't come back.....
