Needy

By Rebecca Agauas

I want you to like me.

Cross that out.

I want you to love me.

Cross that out.

I want you to be inspired by me.

Cross that out.

I want you to want me.

Cross that out.

I want you to think about me.

Cross that out.

I want you to need me as much as I need you.

Cross that out.

I want to quit you.

Cross that out.

I want to not care what you think about me.

Cross that out.

I want to be free of you.

Highlight that.
