A few days ago I talked to a person I thought I'd lost forever.
He opened up.
He told me what's going on in his life.
He's depressed,
Sees things that aren't there,
And can never focus.
We were talking like we used to,
But I can tell he's a different person.
He's full of hurt.
Maybe he always has been...
The only thing I'm sure of is that when we were talking,
I didn't want it to end.
I still care.
Which is often.
I don't understand.
I just don't.
Why am I always last?
Why can't I mean anything to you??
Do you even see what you do to me?!?
I've told you a thousand times:
I'm jealous.
I'm scared.
I don't want to lose you.
I just want to be a part of your life.
I care about you.
And you lie.
You always lie.
You say you care about me, too.
That you want me and need me in your life.
But you just hurt me.
And I keep going back.
Because I don't want to face the reality that, if I run away, you won't even think about running after me.
I'm happy.
My life is wonderful.
I have people who love me, and I love myself.
But there's still a part of me that hurts.
Sometimes it feels like my heart is ripping right down the middle, each side being pulled in a different direction.
People love me,
Still I get left out.
I'm not good enough.
I've pushed people away so much
there's no one left to fight for me.
No one cares enough to make me fight for myself.
And that's what hurts the most.
I don't know how to fix this.
I can't figure out how to be good enough for you.
I really don't even know what the problem is...
You care about me, I know you do.
Why am I not good enough?
I don't want to talk about sex, drugs, or drinking 24-7,
I don't always say the right things,
I'm not a size 2,
And I'd rather sit in my living room and watch The Lion King with my cat then go out and party.
But I care about people.
I'll be the one to love you, and tell you you're perfect when everything's falling apart.
I'll be there everyday to catch you if you fall, or bring you back to reality if your head's too far up in the clouds.
So go ahead,
Tell me I'm not good enough.
I'm sorry that I have feelings for you.
I'm sorry that I care so much.
I'm sorry that I cry myself to sleep sometimes because I know you don't care as much as I do.
I'm sorry that I'm jealous.
I'm sorry that I haven't done anything to ameliorate the situation.
I'm sorry I don't have the courage to tell you how I feel.
I'm sorry I'm not completely honest with you.
I'm sorry I blame you for things that aren't your fault.
I'm sorry we don't have the connection that you have with your other friends.
I'm sorry I think you're the cutest thing on the planet.
I'm sorry that what I want most in the world is to really know who you are.
I'm sorry that no matter how hard I try, I won't mean anything to you.
I'm sorry that everything I do, isn't enough.
I wish that just for one second you could understand how I really feel.
You came into my life when I needed someone the most, and you never left.
That's a big deal!
When I'm with you, I feel like the rest of the world doesn't exist.
You make me love myself. No one has ever had that effect on me.
I don't know what to do.
