Who Are We?

So! Now you want me!
So! You now you don't!
One day I'm good enough
next day 
I'm not.
Who am I now that I want you?
I didn't want to go there.
But that is my disease,
I need to be left wanting 
before I want myself.
I know that shelf is not good enough
unless
I want you!
You who doesn't want me.
You who doesn't deserve me!
Now I am insecure!
Now I need you.
Now you are nowhere!
