If someone want you, nothing can keep them away. <br />If they don't want you, nothing can make them stay. <br />Stop making excuses for someone else and their behavior. <br />Allow your intuition to save you from heartache. <br />Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship, if it’s meant to be it will be. <br />Never live your life for your partner; find what makes you truly happy. <br />If a relationship ends because they were not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't 'be friends.' A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. <br />Don't settle. If you feel like they are stringing you along, then they probably are. <br />Don't stay because you think 'it will get better.' <br />You'll be mad at yourself, a year later for staying when things are not better. <br />The only person you can control in a relationship is you. <br />Maintain boundaries in how you’re treated. <br />If something bothers you, speak up. <br />You cannot change their behavior. Change comes from within. <br />Don't EVER make them feel they are more important than you are...even if they have more education or in a better job. <br />A person will only treat you the way you ALLOW them to treat you. <br />All people are NOT dogs. <br />You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street. <br />You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary. <br /> <br />In the end you are the one that has to take responsibility for your choices.<br /><br />Laura Anne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-someone-wants-you/
