    I Want To Disappear

    I'm sorry a friend intervened and spoke for him that's not ok on so many levels .. If he hasn't been reciprocating your feeling and the effort you've been putting into the relationship than he's not worth your time and effort... No relationship is ever going to be picture perfect but there...
