Love was never love at all

 I’m so in love with the idea of someone getting to know me.

I’m so eager to be appreciated.

I want my thoughts to be valued.

I’m starting to realize only I can give myself that.

Maybe that’s why I obsess and want to hear everything about your life.

 How can I make it better?

How can I help you realize that I can bring value to your life?

I’m so selfish. All I over wanted was my own love.
