Selfish

My feelings were extremely hurt today! You called me selfish. Selfish? Selfish? How is protecting my own heart selfish? How is not letting you toy with my emotions selfish? How is caring about your well being selfish? Yes I have to do it from a distance and that can be considered selfish but I have to do what is best for my well being as well. I have real feelings for you. Real emotions that i know you can not handle at this time in your life. So in order to keep my sanity and to not hate you for the way I feel I have to distance myself from you. I will not apologize for putting my needs ahead of yours since you obviously don't care about them. If that makes me selfish then so be it. But don't act like you don't know that your needs are just as important to me as mine. But until you can recognize this then I guess I will remain selfish in your eyes.
