SELFISH

SELFISH!

SELFISH!

SELFISH!

 

My love,

what is your schedule like tomorrow?

do you have time to say "i love you"?

do you have time to get my birthday presents?

to remember it's our anniversary?

 

My love,

is it too much trouble

to step away from the television?

I know you love your re-runs,

but I can be entertaining too

 

My love,

did you forget?

when you thought I was beautiful?

when you appreciated me?

when you wanted to make me smile?

 

My love,

wouldn't you agree?

that no one has ever given you as much as me?

that my happiness is just as important as yours?

that I at least deserve your honesty?

 

My love,

I'm sure you're right

facebook, sportscenter, warcraft, television

they deserve your time and attention

after all, I am only comfortable and convenient

 

My love,

Don't worry

I understand

we all need a warm body

to use when we need a hand.
