I need to promise myself I shouldn’t cry over a
Man who didn’t love me back….
I shouldn’t…. I don’t have to shed my tears over him
Why should I? He doesn’t care….
He’s not thinkin about me
So why would I give a damn?
It hurts, it hurts so badly
You want love more than anythin….
I remember a lady told me stop cryin
Real men kill to be with you
No need to be sad over a boy….
Yes he’s just an immature boy in a grown man’s body….
She saw right through me, the heartache….

You know I should have a tougher skin
Than a huge dramatic breakup….
Cos that man who never care for me doesn’t
Have a single teardrop….
When I’m over him, he’s goin to come back to me
And it’s just a little too late….

I don’t wanna cry over a man
Who Is detached from me
I wanna be cool about it
Yet it does hurt…I’m not goin to lie
It makes me feel lonely when his body language
Says he doesn’t love me anymore…
I have to be ok with that…
Find someone who does feel the same way I do….

To me, it’s one sided
It’s unrequited love
The entire time…
People said he did love me
I believe them
Though his actions tell a different story….

So I promise myself not to sob over a man
Who ain’t mine in the first place
Cos he ain’t thinkin about me….
It’s the truth
He have no thoughts of my feelings
My heart
Ladies
Y’all need to keep this in mind
When y’all cry over your boyfriends/husbands who broke your hearts
They ain’t thinkin about y’all….
Trust me they don’t feel bad about their choices…

Though
I don’t know if I could keep a promise like that
To myself, cos I do cry over a man
I’m human and human feels pain
It doesn’t excuse me to let myself go
In a man’s space so many times where he doesn’t see
Me….

Friends mamas grandmamas aunts who have been through
This before with their own partners
They told young women that their former lovers ain’t thinkin
About them…it’s harsh but respectfully it’s true….
We cry over men who don’t imagine our faces in their minds
While fuckin another woman’s pussy…..
We’re their afterthoughts….

Real men don’t make their women cry
They don’t make them endure…..
They never take their empresses for granted…..

I say this
Find someone who never wants to make you cry
In your pillow…..Mr. Right won’t let you have tears
In your eyes, he can’t stand the kind of shit
Cos it would be so ashamed of himself for
Makin you cry….he will think of you knowin
He’s not goin to lose you….cos he loves you……
Go find him…..keep him
Honestly real love is truly rare….

If you cry
Go ahead and cry
You’re human
Strong people can cry
I wanna keep my promise to myself
Cos I know deep down
He’s not wonderin if I’m ok….,
Even if I try so hard to hold my tough skin,
It get thinner when my heart crushed by the mention
Of my heartbreak….
