Unrequited, Unedited


At the fag end of day two,
after we didn't speak...

My thoughts:

I shouldn't have...
Gazed at you so tenderly or
Caressed your brow so gently
while you were asleep the other day.

I shouldn't have...
Decided to live a few definitions
of what it means to love:
To give more than you receive;
To love someone so much 
that they begin to love 
themselves so much more.

I shouldn't have...
Loved you so much that
the only time I didn't think of you
is when you were with me...

Until you call back after 36 hours.

Your words:

How could you even possibly think
You could sleep well
without talking to me?
