Choosing people who don’t choose you

I always end up getting attached to the wrong people. The ones who already have their special person but still treat you like you’re the only one, while they give that same affection to everyone.
To people who show you a side of themselves that feels genuine but in the end isn’t.
To people with so many emotional wounds who only end up using you as a safe space and nothing more, and of course when you can’t provide that refuge they grow distant or start treating you differently.

Just once, just one fucking time, I want someone to reciprocate. I want to be the one they choose. I’m so tired of being told how good I am if in the end no one ever chooses me and I'm just another option in their menu.
