Not everyone is meant to stay, but the right ones will never leave.

The Ones Who Truly Hear

You always try, you always care, But some just act like you're not there. You ask for time, just a little bit, But they walk away and that is it.

You give your time, you give your heart, But they don’t notice, they stay apart. You share your thoughts, your love, your dreams, But they just leave, or so it seems.

The ones who matter don’t always stay, While those who don’t still block your way. You give your best, but they don’t see, And leave you feeling lost at sea.

You try to help, you try to care, But they act like you’re not there. Your heart feels heavy, your soul feels weak, But they don’t hear the words you speak.

So don’t hold on to those who go, Real love and care should freely flow. Save your kindness for those who stay, And let the others drift away.

Life is too short to chase and plead, Give your love to those who need. The ones who see, the ones who know, Will stand beside you, not let go.

Some will leave, some will stay, But you’ll find love along the way. Don’t let the wrong ones drain your light, The right ones make the world feel bright.

Not everyone is meant for you, And that’s okay, it’s simply true. Just walk away from those who don’t care, And keep your love for those who are there.

You pour your heart, you give your time, But some don’t care, they don’t mind. You send a message, you make a call, But they don’t answer, they let it fall.

It’s painful when you try so much, Yet never feel a loving touch. You want to be seen, you want to be heard, But they just pass without a word.

There are people who truly care, People who will always be there. Don’t waste your love on those who go, Let them leave, let them flow.

You deserve love, you deserve light, You deserve someone who treats you right. Stop chasing those who always leave, Find someone who makes you believe.

True love isn’t hard to find, When you stop looking behind. Look ahead, find someone new, Who loves and values all of you.

Let go of pain, let go of sorrow, A better love waits for tomorrow. Hold your heart, don’t give it free, Save it for those who truly see.

Not all will care, not all will stay, But the right ones will find their way. Don’t chase love, don’t beg for more, What’s meant for you will come ashore.

Keep your heart open but choose with care, The ones who stay are truly rare. Surround yourself with those who give, Who bring you joy, who help you live.

Time will show you who is real, Who truly cares, who helps you heal. Not all you love will love you back, But those who do will fill what lacks.

You are worthy, don’t forget, Love will find you, just not yet. Be patient, strong, and let it be, One day, the right ones you will see.

So walk away from those who don’t, Hold on tight to those who won’t. Love should never make you feel alone, The right ones will feel like home.

    Some will leave, some will stay, But you’ll find love along the way. Don’t let the wrong ones drain your light, The right ones make the world feel bright...my favorite line. True words.
