So I met you, just coincidentally. A light tap in the shoulder, a smile here and there.

You were someone who saw me as who I was, you were someone who would back me up and fight for me.

But never really had. You were just someone who says things as beautiful as heaven itself but refused to back it up with actual actions.

Actual actions of fists of fury, actual actions of putting in the efforts I put in for you every single fucking night of my life.

See, you made up so many dang excuses.

You said so much shit that I would forget the next day, merely because I saw the good in you, the brightness that you would give off, wherever you went.

Your family loved you, your friends loved you, and I, your loyal partner would just be there for you.

I would buy you food, I would tag along with you and offer good golden advice, I would sacrifice my nights and wake up in the morning with a full-on headache and drowsy eyes, but see, I would never complain.

You complained about how I had so many problems, but seriously, who doesn't?

Who doesn't have messy issues, with their family, with their friends, with their loved ones?

Who doesn't end up having a cold every once in a while? Who doesn't get a migraine, who doesn't need to get sent home? The list goes on and on, and still, you wanted to deem yourself special, as if everyone were your servants and you were a queen and you just IGNORED me, your loyal partner.

You didn't see me the way I saw you. I labeled you as my sister, long before the start of time, long before you ever named me your best friend.

You didn't see what I did for you. The constant going behind your back to talk to people that were rude to you in class, helping you do your homework before I did my own, getting home late because I was too busy offering you advice, even though I knew my mom was gonna yell at me for ignoring the time and ignoring the family's needs.

I just wanted you to see. To see my efforts, to acknowledge me as an equal. But to say you did was just gonna be a lie.

You don't deserve me, and maybe I just can't understand your world, either.

But needless to say, I know I deserve better. And you deserve to see the light I put in your life.
