Did I really like you or was it the attention you provided?
Was I searching for validation or to be seen?
Was it because you made me feel special, wanted, visible?
Did I really like you or was the thrill of the chase that ignited something in me?
Awoken to myself outside of mother or friend.
You gave me attention I never knew I wanted.
But now that you have so easily dropped me from your priorities,
I am left wondering if any of it was genuine or if you simply got your fill,
Did any of it matter? Did it mean anything?
And the way I am now feeling, was it worth the attention?

Def have felt like that before. Not even just love-relationship wise. Even with friends I no longer speak to. I look back and don’t think I ever liked them from the beginning anyway.

Oh yes! I find it’s been worse when it’s friendship relationships that end up being one sided. Those hurt the most. But life has a way of showing you that maybe you really didn’t need them anyways. Glad you could relate! Sometimes, I think it’s all in my head- lol.
