I shouldnt have sent you a follow up message.
I shouldnt have stalked your social media to see if youve been posting from your phone.
I shouldnt have uploaded selfies and stories in the hopes you would see them in the meantime.

I shouldnt have tethered my worth to whether or not you paid any attention to me.
I shouldnt have given you so much room to screw around with me.
I shouldnt have let you get away with waitingdaysto get back to me.
I should have stuck up for myself.
I should have realized shitty texters normally end up being shitty boyfriends.
Its not like Im expecting much.
You dont have to text me back within seconds.
You dont have to write paragraphs while youre at work.
Sometimes, even an emoji is enough.
It makes me think youve forgotten about my existence as soon as were in separate rooms.
And thats unacceptable to me.
Ive stared at my phone for longer than I should have.
Ive checked and rechecked messages more than I should have.
Ive double texted more than I should have.
I should have walked away when you showed me you had better things to do than answer my messages.
I should have realized I was asking the absolute minimum from you and you couldnt even give me that.
