story of my life

"I want things to go my way - But as of late, a lot of sh*t been goin' sideways 

this quote is the story of my life as of now.  I feel strongly about a person but i can't make the current situation right.  i feel like it is taking control of me and i dont know whether to give up or keep trying.  Some advice was given to me but i dont want to keep persuing someone and look desperate because I'm not i jus know what I want and don't like failure
