The invisible one

If I thought the universe revolved around me;

If I changed my mind a thousand times,

and when things didn’t turn out the way I wanted them to,

I turned around and blamed it on you,

as if it was your idea in the first place;

If I lost my temper every time things don’t go my way;

If I threw tantrums every time I don’t get what I want;

If I took out my frustrations on you

every time I am stressed or upset;

If I ran to you for help every time I failed;

If I demanded for attention every time

I felt left out;

If I was selfish and irresponsible;

If I refused to compromise;

If I always wanted things my way;

If I disappeared and let you worry about me

because I didn’t care how you would feel;

If I bought you gifts as an apology,

instead of trying to avoid hurting you in the first place;

If I blamed you for my wrong decisions;

If I blamed you for my inadequacies;

If I blamed you because I didn’t try hard enough;

If I blamed you for my failures;

If I blamed you for my insecurities;

If I blamed you for everything bad that happens to me;

If I did all this, will you then love me like you love them?
