I looked at her as if she didn't matter to me
and let her sit outside of my place in the snow
it was 26 degrees
only because she felt safe being near me

How do I reconcile someone doing me wrong?
when that person is the only one I want

I sat in the warmth of my apartment knowing she was freezing cold
what kind of person am I if the one I love is suffering, shivering, and alone?

Is my pride that important?
Is my ego that fragile?

She might have strayed
lest I forget that she came back?

I thought I should ignore her
but the more I tried the more I couldn't
after two hours, I thought she had left
but she refused to
so I let her in and took care of her
Like I was always supposed to
