The best friend you'll never have

I like to think of myself as a really good friend. I'm a good listener, I have empathy, I try to be there for you, I try to plan activities with you, and you never reciprocate. I see you making plans with your friends, and I see how they always let you down. I NEVER let you down, and yet, you never make an effort to be my friend.

I hate it when I tell myself that I'm not going to give in to your games, and then crisis hits, and I can't help it. I can't help but be there for you. It's just second nature to me, to want to fix everything. No matter what happens, you know that I will always be there for you. I'm a sucker, and you know that.

I hate that you know that. I hate that you know that I will always be there for you. I hate that you continue to take advantage me. I hate that you don't see how much you are hurting me.

I know you know who you are. And all I ask is you stop taking advantage of me. Or stop pretending to be my friend, be honest with yourself, and me...
