Loved who more

I spent hours
Waiting for a second
Of your time.
You spent seconds
Wasting hours of mine.
You only gave me attention
Because I kept coming back.
When I finally left,
You knew what to say
To get me to take you back.

If you asked me now
Who loved whom more,
There are two answers.

The first:
I loved you more
Than you could ever comprehend.
I gave my all
In return for nothing,
Not even love.

The second:
You loved me more
Because you saw a change.
You knew the same tricks
Would never work again.
You loved me more
Because you feared I would leave.


                             I finally did.
