deal me in

i don't play games.
i hate playing games.

there are guys who say this
guys who say this to you
and you believe them
start to think that is ok
that its safe to open up to them
to start letting them in

because they don't play games.

i call bullshit.

every guy i have ever met who has said this
runs screaming
the second they think
that you think
there might be something serious going on
something even remotly resembling a relationship
no matter that this "relationship" consists of
talking and hanging out and nothing more then that
and i mean absolutely nothing
no matter that they have failed to consult you
in this matter
no matter that they didn't bother to find out
what you actually think
or want

the moment you show that maybe, just maybe
you are interested in something more then
the friendship you have been developing
slowly developing

poof.
gone.
once more with the disappearing act

but as much as it sucks
you can't let it keep you from taking those chances
from jumping off that cliff
because eventually
someone will catch you.
