Just for once...
I'd like you to see things from my point of view

Just for once...
Can you step outside of yourself and look at how you treat me with fresh eyes

Just for once...
I want you to ache like how I ache and long like how I long to touch you, feel you, breathe you

Just for once...
I want you to be selfless

Just for once...
I'd like you to not chew me up and spit me out like I'm some kind of disgusting taste in your mouth

Just for once...
I'd like to be a part of your life and feel like a priority in your life

How can you?
