You may win the games, but you'll lose the person for good

People will leave you in the cold but get mad when you learn to get warm by yourself. 

They wanted you to feel their absence, but instead, you just learned to get by without them.

Their absence only taught you self-reliance. 

You may also realize that once you've lost that emotional investment in them, they suddenly become very ordinary people. 

It was your love that made them special. But now that they take your love for granted and try to hurt you instead, you just retrieve your feelings. 

Once people have learnt to live without you, that's the end.

You should never play games with people who care about you because they will not wait for you forever. 

They may be long suffering, but they're not forever suffering. 

In this world of selfishness and fakeness, you're in luck if you find someone who truly cares. 

Take care while they still care.

To play with a person who only wants  the best for you is like scoring own goals and thinking you're winning. 

If you don't want someone, release them. But you should never tie someone down in a relationship and then start playing with their feelings. 

You may win the games, but you'll lose the person for good.
