You know,
that feeling
when you like a person—
and the person likes you back?
Blissfully
coincidentally.
You know,
this feeling
when a person likes you
and you somehow,
like them back?
Ignorantly
conveniently.
Reciprocally;
reproachable.

I wrote this while reflecting on mutual vs. circumstantial reciprocation between two people, which is often conditional on one’s self(ish)-interest.
