I don't care what you call it.
It's still wrong.
You're still wrong.
I don't care what you claim.
It's still wrong.
You're still wrong.
I didn't mind when you whispered;
I didn't mind when you laughed;
About me;
At me.
'Cause you could do no wrong.
'Cause you would never hurt me:
I thought you cared too much.
Or maybe I cared too much;
About me;
About you.
But I was wrong.
I'm still wrong.
And that makes me sick.

Hey there again!

This was really emotionally captivating. To me, it is very relate-able (especially when you said, "or maybe I cared too much".) It sounds just like me. Keep writing, it's really fantastic stuff you've got. :)
