Stop pretending I can’t deny it anymore It would be obvious to Anyone With an ounce of common sense That I am not important to you Why do I insist On imagining that I am I think about you when I’m awake And I dream of you while I sleep Every notification My heart still cries out “It might be him this time!” But inevitably when I look It hardly ever is. We used to talk All day long About anything And everything I imagined If I listened enough I could eventually learn your soul Then maybe you would see How much I still love you How absolutely I accept you How I care so deeply for you That sometimes it drives me mad. But the replies started taking longer And the responses grew shorter You are always “so busy” I can’t count how many days you’ve said that We all know what that means Because you can always make time For the people you care about And I need to remember~ If they wanted to, They would. And I need to accept That you do not want to And that I am not a priority to you You are absolutely fine Without my presence In your life And it is killing me to realize So as I write this Tears sit behind my eyes A great sadness has wrapped my soul In such a warm hug And my heart feels Like it’s beating off rhythm But I write so I have proof Next time I think I might be important to you That you are absolutely okay without me And so I must learn to be too.
