all i want
is to feel wanted.
to feel appreciated.

for someone
to seek out my attention.

for someone
who will not allow me
to initiate
every
single
conversation.

i want to see
the effort
that i deserve
to see.

you give me none of this.
yet here i am
crawling back to you.

am i to pursue you
at my own expense?
