I loved you more.
Then I loved myself.
I sat there and forgave.
All your flaws
All your anger
All your secrets
But it seemed like you could never love me.
I tried and tried.
I huffed and I puffed.
But it was like a wall I couldn't entirely blow down.
It was like you went out of your way.
To try to get me out of your life.
I gave you more than you deserved.
I just wanted you to love me.
