selfishness has never been a fair trait when having a relationship,
but without is another story.
a different story,
in which the pages are thinner than paper itself,
and the cover varies in colors and size.
a story in which independence becomes natural again,
and a child is taught how to read chapter-books on their own.
for some reason, you make me miss not feeling selfish.
because i was once flabbergasted over a single movement of your hand,
a simple flip of a page.
i miss our story,
but i've missed myself more.
