Hey, I know you.

Sometimes everything

just seems so one sided.

Like, I'm putting in all 

the effort to the relationship

and beating myself up over it.

In some cases I've learned 

to mimic their actions or back off,

but it's just as exhausting as 

when I'm trying extra hard 

just to get a "hello" or 

"yeah, I've been thinking 

about you too". even

if it's not completely true.

One might suggest that

I change then or find new peeps,

but I wouldn't be trying so hard

if they weren't people I 

appreciate and love and

actually want in my life. 

Life is just cruel enough 

sometimes to point and laugh

at me because they don't

want me in theirs.

But GUESS WHAT.

I can point and laugh too.

Whether it's at myself or

life in general, I don't know

but it's because there are people 

who DO want me in their lives,

people that I can make laugh,

without the pain of

being someone I'm not.

People who will stay in my life

and aren't afraid to stand by my side

or say "Hey, I know her!" 

While the rest of the world

can forget me even if I continue

missing them because I have 

people that mean so much more,

and they know it. <3
