I want you to like me.
Cross that out.
I want you to love me.
Cross that out.
I want you to be inspired by me.
Cross that out.
I want you to want me.
Cross that out.
I want you to think about me.
Cross that out.
I want you to need me as much as I need you.
Cross that out.
I want to quit you.
Cross that out.
I want to not care what you think about me.
Cross that out.
I want to be free of you.
Highlight that.
