Is love not selfish?

I'm selfish
"I've never met anyone like you," you tell me. But the truth is I'm selfish
I'm selfish when I ask if you're okay, It's only because I need you to be Okay
I'm selfish when I peck you and say, "Take care." I only want you safe - for me
I'm selfish when I give you my heart, It's all to make you responsible for me
I'm selfish when I lean to kiss you, It's your kiss I really need
"I love you," I say, but what I'm really saying is please, love me more
Even when you die, I cry, all because I am selfish - I need you alive for me
I'm selfish.
