I'll give you my dirty little secret, don't tell anyone, or you'll be just another regret.

Life is never easy. No one has it easy. Even the richest struggle. Here's my issue. I have lived a life that has had enough. All those memories keep haunting me. That image of me falling down in the middle of street, being carried into the ambulance, it haunts me. I'm always so afraid for it to reoccur again.

I know he is the one. I knew it for a long time. I know I want to spend the rest of my life with him. But lately, I feel him slipping. It's been 4 weeks since we kissed. Any women's magazine would tell you he's getting some on the side. I know that's not the case. Or maybe it is. I have been cheated on way too many times to even feel anything. The last relationship I was in when he was being cold towards me, he was cheating. I pray each night he's not. I know he never will. Cause if he is, I have no one to blame but myself. I promised myself the next person I date, I would only be committed if I'm 100% sure of it. And I was sure of him.

I'm just tired of being taken advantage of. I'm tired of compromising. Does he not remember how close we were? Does he not remember all his promises? Were they all said for the sake of them? Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe he really just is busy. But I am not asking for much right? I do not want to constantly keep asking my own boyfriend to hang out. My anxiety is making things worst as well.

The question that remains is this; how much am I willing to compromise? Am I going to keep being pushed around till I succumb to my low point again? I can't anymore. Despite him being the one, I need him to be the person I fell in love with. He used to call me at 3 am to tell me he loves me. Now, my phone barely even buzzes. When it does, it never is his name. I'm lucky to get a few texts here and there. So, can I add him to the list of people who only want me when they want someone to entertain them? And that's a freaking long list. Right now, that's what I feel. That I'm just there for him to talk to when he's bored.

He may be the one, but I won't let myself go just so I can get hurt and he walks away without any remorse. Should I run away from this then? I might risk hurting him. I can't even type it out to him. Each time I try to, instead of hitting that send button, I hit the delete. I tried having this conversation face to face and the words won't even come out. I finally spit it out and all he did was say "if I didn't love you, I wouldn't ask you to come see me." and a bunch of I LOVE YOU'S. Sure that's great, that reaffirms the relationship. But ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. And so far, all his actions scream is that he doesn't care.

So I'm left with the option of staying or leaving. If I leave, I risk losing my parents faith and trust in me. Since they like him. I risk losing the one. What if I can't find someone who's so N'Sync with me again. (See what I did there, JT reference man!) I mean, he knows what I like and what I don't. He knows how to make me scream and smile. If I stayed, I risk getting hurt. What if things don't go back to normal? We were supposed to be living together this year. But some documents were screwed up and we lost everything. I was left with a huge bill and almost homeless. Did he care? Not really, looking at it. I was left stranded at the airport, did he pick up my call? No. Sometimes, a part of me thinks he maybe let the flat situation play out like how it did just so we don't move in.

I mean I love him, with all my heart. I love the way my heart races when I see him. I love the way he holds me. I love the long Skype calls. When he's romantic, he says everything I want to hear. So, can I let this rough patch go just for these things and maybe spend the rest of my life with him?

I don't know. There's only so much I can take. But if it doesn't work out, I'll always love him and he'll be the one that got away.
