you were so selfish and i loved you for it. you can't truly love

you were so selfish and i loved you for it. you can't truly love a person if you don't love everything about them - including their flaws. i loved all the things you used to be and all the things you were and all the things you had yet to become. i loved every mistake you ever made. i loved it all. i loved you all. but i realized you didn't love me for what i was. you didn't love all of me, only bits and parts of me. you loved me for what i could be and not what i was, and that's not love at all.
