Sometimes
I dedicate this poetry to lovers who oftentimes drift apart or struggle due to their work and distance. More often than not, one person will have something left unsaid and wait for the other to take the initiative. In this viewpoint, the person can only be patient for as much as they can tolerate. That’s because in a relationship efforts shouldn’t be one-sided.
Sometimes,
I wonder if you listened to
Every single thing I’ve said.
Sometimes,
I have to recapitulate info’s
You should have known.
Sometimes,
I feel like a broken record
That was stuck on repeat.
Sometimes,
I asked myself if you
really cared or tried at all.
Sometimes,
I wish you would be the
One to to reach out first.
Sometimes,
I want you to lead most of
Our cerebral conversations.
Sometimes,
I wish we can just hangout
And be at peace with silence.
