Reverse Psychology

I find myself compelled to write to you about the intricate dance we’ve been engaged in—a slow waltz of emotions that has left me both breathless and bewildered. It seems like reverse psychology has woven itself into the fabric of our relationship, doesn't it? You once sought my loyalty and love, only to retreat in fear when another man showed interest. And when you came back, hope rekindled in my heart, yet again you left, reminiscent of that same pattern.

You have become somewhat notorious for this art of reverse psychology, weaving in love while allowing those past wounds to create distance between us. It’s as if you are caught in a web of your own making; you love me deeply, yet remain unwilling to commit. The irony isn’t lost on me — the very love that draws me to you also creates barriers.

I see through the layers now, recognizing that my feelings are ensnared in this cyclical dance of your hesitations. I can’t help but wonder if this is karma for the times I strayed. Little did I know how much I would come to experience the echoes of reverse psychology, and how they would shape my emotions so profoundly.

With sincerity lingering in the air, I hope you consider what we could build together if you only let down your guard.
