Shifting Mindset

I suppose I should thank you

for looking in my direction,

taking a moment to spare me

a momentary glance.

I guess I should thank you

for sharing your time,

allowing me space within your busy schedule.

Or,

perhaps,

I should thank myself for giving you the time of day.

That I spared an ounce of my affection on you

when I have so much love to give.

I deserved so much better than you.

And the fact that for so long,

you made me feel the opposite

sickens me.
