While you ignore her, another guy is giving her all his attention. He's feeding off of her broken energy, the energy that you took out of her a long time ago. She doesn't get excited when she see's you anymore. Her eyes don't light up the way they used to. Her heart may pound hard and race fast just because of memories that she's remembering of you. But she doesn't get that tingly feeling in her body anymore. You made her feel like she had no chance with you, you put her in a competition with other girls to fight for your love. She was the strongest competitor. She stayed with you while you were down! She still strived for your attention even when she felt ignored. She helped you in your times of need. But you never noticed. In your mind, she was the weakest link. Because she wasn't the first or the quickest to open her legs or open her mouth in the ways you would've enjoyed. She wasn't nesescarrily throwing herself at you constantly like them other girls. And because of that, she was just another girl in the crowd to you. Now that she has walked away, you seem to notice her. You want her back now. But she lost the competition. And has decided not to compete for a worthless prize again. In reality it's your loss, not hers. And the real winner is the guy who now has her full attention.   

The more she found herself, the less she felt the need to find someone who made her feel like she was worthy. A man's job is not to give a woman her crown, but to recognize it.
