When Love Becomes Desperate

You're my best friend.
I'm your best friend. 
I've always been there for you,
You've been there for me.
Then there was she. Oh yes,
She. Yea the one that started that 
Random drama, the petty supposedly 
Grown one. That was in your life before me,
And how she threw a fit when I became important
To you. I remember, how she called you *****.
How she told you that our friendship is worthless. 
I remember you wanting to run away from her and
Just leave her alone but what did you do? Exactly, 
You did what you've always done. You went right 
Back to her. And I remember asking you,
"Why are you guys friends?" 
And you said, "I don't know." You hurt me by
Going back to her. I wanted you
To be more than that. To only accept respect.
To not disrespect. But now
You've given into her and I 
Don't know how you expect it to 
Be the same between 
Us. What ever happened to being
True to yourself? Why do you let 
People treat you that way?
Why don't you love yourself that
Much. All I can say is to keep on
Living. I still love you but know a true 
Friend. Know how to love yourself before
You love someone else.
