This one is for all the guy who didn't choose me. The ones who walked right by and didn't give me a second glance, the ones who stopped but failed to see the value of my worth, who didn't think they'd miss me.
This one is for all the guys who didn't love me. The ones that said they'd be there but weren't, the ones who dropped the ball when they should have been scoring and who didn't fight for us.
This one is for all the guys who missed out. The ones who shrugged me off, didn't call back or ran away instead of seeing it through, the ones who met me "at the wrong time in their lives", who didn't have the strength to break down the walls.
This one's for you and him and them, the ones who choose perfect bodied, big eyed, typically beautiful bimbos instead of the intricate design of my body and mind because of its complexity. For the guys who preferred to play it safe than risk feeling something real, the ones who let fear ruin something great and who dared not love the imperfections.
To those guys, I hope one day you wake up alone and realize that playing it safe, holding back, being scared might keep you from getting hurt but it keeps you from love too. To them, when you wake up that morning and realize what we could have been, I will be laying somewhere with someone who saw my worth, who fought and held on, who worked through his fear and helped me through mine, who loves my imperfections, who appreciates the delicate design of who I am... and we'll be thanking you for not seeing the diamond in the rough.

@Mdd16436 - Thanks babe :) Nice to see you around! Btw I went with #2 yesterday ;) xoxox
Maybe one will come to sweep you off your feet soon enuff
Hey there, I'm just browsing around and leaving some comments. I live just outside of Vancouver, BC, and I'm currently going to college taking business courses, as well as working a few days a week.
That was very refreshing to read. I wish that everyone would have the confidence to be able to say something so powerful, yet important. Its great that you are able to be strong and say those things.
It goes to show how some people, probably a lot of people are when it comes to dating. They go for the person they find is the easiest to be with, the person they think they can just do whatever with and really not have that serious of a connection.
Thinking of it that way, its the really good people of the world who aren't missing out when these others just walk by and show no interest. Because the good people really deserve some one far better than those people in the first place.
Feel free to leave a comment on my site if you like -- its great to hear from people. Take care and have an awesome day.

Awesome post... I've not experienced too many rejections or heartbreaks.. but I know that they can be ridiculously hurtful. The man who lives happily ever after with you, is lucky.
LOVE this.
I have a feeling that you knew I would, though. And holy shit, I never replied to your message, did I? That just dawned on me. So sorry. It's been a crazy couple of weeks.
Anyway, great post!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
That was beautiful. They'll never know what they missed out on.Â
very nice
i love this.
Beautiful. :)
Beautifully written.
"Pick Me, Choose Me, Love Me." I love that line from Grey's Anatomy. I love this post. I know how you feel and there are so many girls out there who can relate <3
Why do you care?
You are one of the best reads I've seen in days
Sometimes I get angry, but more often I just feel sorry for them.
*stands and applauds* bravo!
You just made me cry!
Beautiful. :]
definitely a best read.
wow. I love this... I can definitely relate to this one.
@Paul_Partisan - Let's hope so! My feet are kind of currently mid fall though, still waiting to see if he'll catch me.
@kyle061685 - Thank you for your long comment. I will stop by your site sometime! Take care.
@haloed - Well you're lucky not to have experienced too many! I am the Queen of Heartbreak and Rejection. If it were a national sport, I'd have a gold medal. At least it makes for good writing and a heart of steal. And thank you so much for saying so, the man who lives forever after with you is lucky too!
@Blue__Summer - Thank you so so so much for always supporting my writing - it means the world. And I love/hate that you can always relate. Hope things calm down soon and we can catch up... but yes, he's still in the woods ;) ps - your rec means the world, so thanks!
@ImUrKarma - Haha thanks!
@SimplyNita - Thank you. And they may realize it one day, but by then it'll be way too late.
@northernskylights - Thank you.
@lovesporks - I have mixed feelings about it. I love the piece of work but I hate the situation that drove it out of my heart.
@B1ANCACACA - Thank you for relating. I use Grey's quotes all the time when I write haha, the writers there are brilliant.
@lovechartreuse - Why do I care that I got rejected by the guy I was seeing? Why do I care that one day I'll end up with someone better? Or why do I care that the men who have fucked me over will eventually realize that they missed out? The answer to all three is that's what heals a broken heart. But thanks for the bitter comment.
@dikdoktor - Well thank you. Sometimes I feel like my words don't reach any one here anymore. But I write for me, so it never really phases me. Still, it never hurts to hear people like your work! Thank you so much and I hope you'll read some of my other (less popular haha) posts.
@sometimerainbow - I usually get angry first, then hurt, then angry again and then I feel sorry for them.
@spokenfor - Thank you so so much!
@champagne4losangeles - I am happy to have written something that could move you. Thank you so much for reading and commenting.
@IrisLoamsdownofDeephallow - Thank you very much! It comes from deep inside, so I think that's why it came out so strong and right.
@Crazynena08 - Thank you! Your words mean a lot. It is always encouraging to hear someone is taking something from your work.
@BeautifulSerendipity - That's what I love about Xanga, you find pieces that you feel you could have written yourself. ps- I love your screen name - Serendipity is one of my favourite words.
Us Canucks have to stick together. Of course I will read more!
i love this!!!! impressive how much it means to me as well...
