The Better One

"You deserve someone better," was how I got rejected, more than once. Do I really deserve someone way better, or is it a phrase said to make me feel better about the rejection.

Now it got me thinking, if someone were to confess to me (keyword: IF), but our feelings were not mutual, how would I reject. A rejection that brings it straight to the confessor, yet at the same time, beats around the bush so that confessor won't be hurt that badly. A rejection that is a pain yet soothing.

"You deserve someone better."

Short, direct, consolation, hope, rejection, all in that 4 words sentence.

Do I really deserve someone better? 

Are you really such a jerk that it's a blessing in disguise to get rejected? 

Would there be anyone that's better than you? 

Do I even deserve anything?

What is better?

But I thought you are the best for me?

Do you deserve me?

Am I really that good?

I hate this kind of rejection. It posses so much hope that you will get someone really better, but the current situation is, you are getting REJECTED. What is this contradiction? If I'm that good, shouldn't you hold on to me, because there might not be someone as good as me?

Then the "better" hits me, someone who is more desirable, someone that gives more satisfactory.



It's not me who deserved someone better, it was referring to you, you deserve someone better.
