Why Do I Wait For Your Call?

Why do I wait for your call?
I don’t answer,
It’s just pleasing to know you’re thinking of me.
Though I know
It’s not of love.

Why do I so desire your thought?
Am I insecure?
Do I need this attention?
No I am better than that.
Is it a crush?
Is it a lost cause?

Why don’t you want me, how I want to be wanted?
Do I even want to be wanted by you?
Or do I just want to be wanted?
Or do I want to be loved?

Yes I want to be loved.
