If I Were

if i were to forget about you
would you remember me?
if i were to talk to you
would you even listen?
if i were to write you a letter
would you even read it?
if i were to ignore you
would you talk to me?
if i were to use you
would you need me?
if i were to hate you
would you love me again?
