a long time.

a long time.

you said to me, “i like me
when i am with you.”

i like you too.
but if you don’t choose me,
choose to be that person
in the alternative.

i told you, “a long time.”
you should know by now,
i’ve learnt never to say something
i don’t mean.

i told you, “a long time.”
i meant it.
