We change for the people we love...
To get their attention.
To make them think differently.
To make them want us.
To make us want ourselves.
And still the ones we love...
Don't notice.
Don't give us attention.
Don't change how they feel.
Don't want us.
Sometimes we give out high expectations...
For ourselves.
For our friends.
For the ones we love.
For the ones we hate.
Even for the ones we want to date.
But still, it means nothing.
Because the people
We want to notice, don't.
And even when they do,
They don't fully see it.
They don't fully understand.
