Is the chase finally over?

I think I am just about ready to give up the chase. At first, the chase was fun, it was exciting, it was about seeing if I could ever get a hold of what I was after. What am I chasing, you wonder?....a man. (LOL!)

So, let's see..when is it really time to stop chasing after someone? Some would say, when you realize that you will never catch them. But I say..when it is no longer fun. See, I personally, don't mind chasing after someone and looking like a complete idiot, as long as it is fun and exciting. The chase is half of the fun..but when it no longer becomes fun, when the "fun" part of it has become straight up work, and the excitement of the chase has faded, it's time to just let it go, and find someone new to chase after. (and I am not talking creepy, stalker shit, either.)

You can only physically and mentally chase after someone for so long. When they know the chase is on, and they don't want to be caught, they will do everything to stay just out of your reach. They will make sure they are always in your sights, and never get too far ahead, because you just might give up sooner than they would like. They like the chase too. They know that you adore them, they like that you like them, and they like you... to a certain degree, but they just aren't ready for you...for whatever reason.

That's fine. As long as you both know that the chase won't go on forever. One day, things will change, either I will stop chasing, or he will stop running. He will keep going, and I eventually will just fade back. One day, he may turn around, to see if I am still there, and I won't be. He will wonder what happened to me...but I will be running in another direction..he no longer a thought. I want him to just slow the fuck down, but he won't.

Okay...Maybe I am not ready to give up the chase, but I have at least stopped running...it's now more like a slow jog.
