“When I wanted you, you didn't want me back. Now I no longer want you, but you want me back. What? You expect me to just wait around while you mess with other people and wait till it's my turn? Fuck that. I moved on. I got over you. Now you come back and want us to pick up where we left off when you're the one that dropped me. I'm tired of these games you play. Why weren't you this interested when I cared about you? Sorry, I went on and met someone new that saw me for what I'm worth. So, go play games with someone else because I'm no longer that gullible.”
