I won't telephone him. I'll never telephone him again as long as I live. He'll rot in hell, before I'll call him up. You don't have to give me strength, God; I have it myself. If he wanted me, he could get me. He knows where I am. He knows I'm waiting here. He's so sure of me, so sure. I wonder why they hate you, as soon as they are sure of you. Dorothy Parker
About This Quote

Many people are afraid that if they call an ex-lover, they will be hurt or heard. However, this quote shows that you don't have to give them power over you, but to let go of any negative feelings. He knows where you are waiting, but he doesn't want to see you. He doesn't want to see you because he has no desire to be with you.

If he did want you, believe me, he would make his way to where you are waiting. People who hate you are sure about their hatred because they have made up their mind that they will never want to be with you again. They have decided that they hate you and then start spewing this hate without even thinking about the other person's feelings.

The fact that people can hate someone so much that they do not even want to communicate with them is an indication of how much hate there really is in their lives. Your ex-lover should have no power over your life anymore because he has no desire for your company. He has no need for your love or friendship anymore, so there's absolutely no reason for him to be part of your life anymore.

It's time to let him go and move on with your life because what God has planned for you is much more important than any contact from an ex-lover.
