A Little Selfishness

I hope that
when all is said and done
you have that little selfishness
for yourself too

I hope that when
you're right in the heat
between your heart and your head
which ultimately brings you
the most happiness

that having to suffer their life
in silent suffering
that kind of life for you

but life doesn't always play out
as we have hoped it

so I hope that
you are selfish enough
to choose you

I hope that
you are selfish enough
to reserve some love
