    It bothers you that Rafael has plenty of other people that he could rely on that aren't you. It bothers you that even so, he still comes back to you time and again to give you just the right amount of attention to keep you from actually managing to move on from him. You're not the one for him. He's not the one for you, either. It's an endless cycle that neither of you are willing to break. You should, but you can't. You take and take and take from one another until you leave each other with nothing and you both fall apart. Then it repeats.

    "But I do love you," Rafael mumbles, pressing a kiss to your forehead before he looks at you. His eyes bore into yours, a small smile playing at his lips as he says such sweet things. Sweet little lies and promises that neither of you ever mean. You could chant those three words over and over again, but none of you would ever mean it. They're empty. Hollow, empty words that mean nothing. You're just one of his girls, forever and always.
