Selfish love

This was a selfish love
Love came into his life breathtakingly
She didn't have to say a word
He would do his best to try and talk to her
To make an effort

This was a selfish love
Love soon became a part of his life like a dream
The dream was a mix-tape
And it always got stuck on the track of me and you
The dream played loud and proud and didn't care who heard
Because the sound of me and you together was something beautiful

This was a selfish love
Love became a daily routine
Love became a "How's your day been?"
"It's been good."
I wish you would just tell me what's really going on..
Love became "Sorry I have plans with other people and can't see you this week."
"Well that's okay I just wanted to let you know I love you and wish we could spend more time together.."

This was a selfish love
Love became a stressed mess ready to poop like a zit on your forehead
Love didn't know how to communicate properly
Love tried not to let things bother her, but he could see right through her mask and it bothered him
Love didn't speak of it
And when he brought it up she'd burst into silence
This is what love looked like when she shut down

This was a selfish love
Love slowly got better at hiding her emotions
And we would go through the motions just like we used to
Love slowly got worse at being herself, and he began to not recognize her
Love pushed him away anytime he tried to help, and all he wanted was to fix her
Love was a shattered mirror and he didn't realize that if he put her back together love still had cracks

This was a selfish love
Love seemed just fine and everything was back to that dreamlike state
Love was that mix-tape that got stuck playing the beautiful track of me and you
Love skipped tracks and said, "it's not you, it's me."
Love said she needed to love herself before she could love someone the way they should be
And I don't want to sound selfish, but I hope she finds a selfish love.
Now you see, Love was a fixed shattered mirror, and as he stared at his love one last time he realized his cracks matched hers and he became selfish love.
