two

I guess I have to understand that love takes two.
It takes two to make it work.
It takes two to communicate.
It takes two to listen.
It takes two to be committed.
It takes two to be loyal.
It takes two to be patient.
It takes two to care.
It takes two to become one.
It takes two to become whole.
It takes two to love.

I didn't understand it at first.
Now I know, I can't be the only one all in.
I can't be the only one trying to make it work.
I can't be the only one trying to communicate.
I can't be the only one trying to show you that I care.
I can't be the only one expressing my feelings.

I shouldn't be the only one crying at night.
I shouldn't be the only one in my feelings listening to Rod wave until the sun comes up.
I shouldn't be the only one scrolling through our memories.
I shouldn't be the only one reminiscing on what could've been.

This love takes two.
And I'm so fucking pissed that you chose her when all I ever wanted was you.
