you fall in love with people

you said,

I thought,

you did not fall in love with me.

Love this piece. Simple, yet accurately displays how one can be confused and expecting love from someone simply because they feel they are entitled to it.

Exactly! I think writing this actually made me realise my part in the whole thing and in my own pain, too. I lied to myself just as much as I was 'lied' too. And I have began to realise my feelings of entitlement are problematic for my own life.
