I’ve never been the girl
who everyone was attracted to
Not the first choice
or second
maybe even third
Maybe it’s just me but
I want to know how it feels
to feel loved
wanted
Needed.
Like I mattered to anyone
I wish I was the reason
someone felt so happy
that they could barely breathe
Or the reason for butterflies in their stomach
The sound of my voice
rendering them speechless

Except
i’m not her
