i had just gotten out of an abusive relationship,
you had never been in one.

i had sex with guys to feel something,
you isolated yourself and played video games.

i worked hard to get validation,
you were the opposite.

I knew everything about you,
you knew everything about me.

you thought I had a boyfriend,
I thought you had a girlfriend.

then we went backwards.

I said I didn't want a relationship,
I lied.

I want one,
but only with you.

you said you had a girlfriend,
did you lie like I did?
