I like to pretend I'm your favorite notification. That every time you see my name pop up on your screen, you smile just a bit bigger. That each photo I share with the world, you're secretly wishing I shared just with you. I like to pretend that you're waiting on my next message, timing how long to wait before you open it so as not to appear overeager, even though you know I'll respond immediately.
If only it wasn't just pretend...
