you didn't care how your actions were affecting me until it affected how i started to treat you. when i was kind, you were comfortable. when i stayed patient, you saw no reason to change. but when i became quiet, distant, and stopped giving the same energy, that's when you noticed something was wrong suddenly, my reaction became the issue, not the pain that caused it. you ignored my feelings until it reached you too. some people only understand hurt when they finally feel it themselves. and it's funny how you only listened when the silence came from me.
