I wish I could say that I want you to be happy.

But truthfully,

I want you to miss me at 3 amĀ 

when your bed is cold.

I want you to feel sad

when you're in the car

and my favorite song comes on.

I want you to realizeĀ 

that I'm not around.

I want you to notice

the traces of me everywhere.

I want you to feel this

just because

I'm too selfish.

Hi Maria
I really like this poem. Common emotions I guess when there's been a break up of some kind.
It's honest, worded just right and maybe the person feeling selfish has right to feel that way?
An intriguing piece.
