Do you understand?

Did you notice how I say 'no' to you more often or how I don't jump to your every whim now? Do you ever wonder why I've distant myself from you? Can you feel the cold exuberanting from my heart? Or are you just ignoring the void that has been growing between us? Do you really think it's the distance or did you begin to realize that I'm starting to see pass your facade; the facade of sweet & sincere kindness, the facade of true friendship. No, you put a price on everything & I'm starting to see that I might be worth nothing. I don't bring anything to the plate the way I once did & I'm not sure I want to. 

As much as you say I'm the bestest, you've haven't really proven to me that you are the beatest. Is it all an act to get what you want? Have I given you all that you can take? All I'm saying is, I know I'm a good friend. No, I'm a great friend. I've consistently taken care of you, you, you, & you. What have you ever done back for me? 

The distance has made me see the bigger picture. I have a lot to offer, & so do you, but you offer it to everyone else before me. I know a real friend when I feel it. I now know who I should take care of first, me. 

I'm done putting people before my needs. I'm done trying to help. Show me first.
