is it selfish of me to need you?
to need our friendship?
it's as if a piece of me lives in our relationship.

it's selfish for me to want your attention.
11 days of no contact is 12 days too long.

it's selfish of me to be sad when i see you with others.
you're most likely avoiding me.

it's selfish of you to force me to swallow my pride.
forcing me to reach out
for the fourth time in a row
only for you to inevitably cancel plans the day of.

it's selfish of me to want to rid you from my sight. remove all traces of you from my
feed,
messages,
camera roll.

it's selfish but i can't live seeing you so happy without me.
