Date a man who loves you more

Do not date the other man because the other man will never give you the stability you know you need.
Stay away from the other man because with him, you are unreliable.
The other man will never be there for you with the same dependability you have come to expect.
He will challenge you and push you to question everything you think you know about yourself.
The other man will love you, he will love you in ways that make you abandon every certainty you have ever had, but he will not help you keep your balance.
Just when you think you have figured that man out, he will disorient you, you will be winded, you will not be able to breathe.

The other man will be infuriating.
He will be selfish, careless with his words and at times even cruel.
He will try to inflict as much pain on you as he himself is feeling.
He will not apologize and he will push you to your limits.
With this man, you can expect the dizzying agony of passion, the blurred oblivion of apathy, the delicious comfort of despair, the addictive misery of loneliness.
You will tell yourself that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, but in that moment of utter hopelessness, you will not believe it with absolute conviction.

Find the man who loves you more and keep him because the worth of happiness cannot be measured in days and months and years,
and those fleeting few memories of pure,
unadulterated bliss will never measure up to the lifetime of contentment you will have with the man who loves you more.

Tell yourself this over and over,
let it become your mantra,
and condition yourself to believe it.

Forget the other man, or at least try to,
ignore the smells, the sounds and the things that remind you of him,
ignore the way he made you feel, because you are better off apart.

Together you make the world explode, but you cannot survive in it after.
Date the man who loves you more, choose him and never let him go,
because you are wise enough to know that stories of true love never have a happy ending,
and with this man at least you will die knowing someone loved you more
