Just Once- Keira Vander

The very thing that
Distinguishes us both is that
I wouldn't hesitate to
Choose you in every lifetime.

But you wouldn't even choose me in this one.

And although I gave you my flesh and bones, I know I cannot love you into loving me.

So there you are, overflowing with my love, and here I'm pleading for a droplet of yours or whatever I could salvage.

But there must come a time where you recognize that to grieve someone hurts a lot less than forcing them to be a part of you.

And I know I should not beg for love, but just once I wanted someone to be afraid of losing me.
