no, you don't.

maybe I wanted to not hurt.

and maybe it was impossible. maybe I was destined to hurt and there was no way out of it, and maybe I'm being really selfish for trying to run away.

but maybe I just wanted to feel nothing after remembering your face, or hearing your name, and maybe I just wanted to stop being complicated for once.

maybe I just don't want your help in this aspect of my life, and maybe I don't want to be any more pathetic than I am now by asking the person who broke my heart to put them back together.

or maybe I just want you to say that,

even for just a bit,

you need me still.

(but you don't.)
