Taking me for Granted

We started off so casual. Simple hi’s and byes were fine. But then you hooked me with that smile and charm. Now suddenly I feel hooked and baited without even knowing how.

You generally seemed to care. You took the time to ask me about my day. You showed feelings deeper than Im used to. You shared a piece of you with me.

We laughed so hard together late into the night. You made me feel safe and secure even though I was alone in the dark.

But then it was revealed to me you had another side. Secrets were being kept from me. Suddenly our game of playful fun turned into hide n seek.

But now its too far gone for me and now Im just confused. I respect myself enough to say no to you, but my heart beats to a different tune.

I want so much to hate you. For me to leave you high and dry. But I’m already hooked and baited. And you made me care too much about you for me to stay mad for too long.

So what to do now seems impossible. As my heart feels like it might explode and my brain feels like complete mush. All I know for certain is you shouldn’t take me for granted because when I leave I can guarantee I’ll be missed.
