i tell myself everytime
i deserve more than this
i deserve someone who
loves and appreciates me
for who i am
not someone like you
who only acknowledges
my existence
when you are bored
or need something from me
but maybe, deep down,
i still cannot believe this,
still cannot believe that
someone like me
could ever be worth anything
more than this
and maybe that is why,
no matter how much distance
i try to put in between us,
when you call my name
i still come drifting
back to you
// when you love the wrong person
