Shell Fish

Would it be selfish of me? Is it selfish for me to want to see you? To talk to you? To seek your forgiveness?

Part of me nods while the other shakes it's head.

But it is selfish of me to wish for your friendship. To wish for a past long and gone. A past I myself tore to shreds with my own hands.

I selfishly ripped your heart out and ran away.

All my life, and through all our friendship, I had been very selfish. And cruel.

Maybe I should just leave you be.

Would life be better if I just left you alone?

I know I wouldn't feel any better.
