Reciprocity

  I think I got frustrated, you see, Because I know how I want love to be. If you send me a reel, I’ll drop everything, I won’t just watch your story without seeing your thing. Baby, I’ll react, I’ll never ignore, Even if I’m busy, I’ll give you more. I’ll pick up your calls, say, “Hold on a sec,” Then dive right back in, give you all my respect. I know we get tired, and life’s a race, But I’d never leave you feeling misplaced. If you text me “Good morning,” I’ll answer with care, I’d Say"Good morning, did you eat? Are you well?" It's love in the details, the stories I tell. The love I send, I hope to receive, Not out of demand, just the way I believe. When I say, “I miss you,” I hope you’ll come flying, Because I’d cross any distance without even trying. Come over, I’ll wake you, make breakfast at dawn, And make sure you’re ready when work rolls on. If I’m on a flight, I’ll text you midair, To ease your worries, let you know I care. I want you to know, with nothing but s...

The Love I Believe In

I don’t date for seasons; I date to stay, For a love that grows, not fades away. Not fleeting months, nor passing years, But a bond enduring through laughter and tears. I dream of a love that stands the test, Built on respect, where we give our best. A love so real, not lust in disguise, But a truth that shines through all goodbyes. I want a partner, my forever friend, With whom every holiday finds a blend, Matching pajamas, moments we treasure, Living a life of joy beyond measure. A love so pure, so strong, so true, Where doubt has no room to misconstrue. To kiss and feel the world hold its breath, As if time itself pauses for us, bereft. I long for talks that stretch through the night, Laughter and silence, both feel so right. To sit in stillness, our hearts aligned, Safe in your arms, peace redefined. I want to love in every way, Emotionally, physically, come what may. A bond so deep, when we’re apart, I miss you missing me; it tugs at my heart. Even yo...

The Weight of Loving Hard

My greatest fear, a love unreturned, A fire within, yet a heart left burned. I love so hard, it’s a trait I bear, But walking away? That’s my despair. I stay, even when I’m torn apart, Even when hate tries to guard my heart. But hate’s a mask, a tired disguise, It’s exhaustion that lingers, behind my eyes. Exhausted from giving, receiving so little, Ignoring the flaws, caught in the middle. They nitpick my soul while I hold theirs whole, Chasing a love that swallows me whole. They turn away, but glance to see, If I’m still waiting, still tethered, still me. And every time, I’m there again, Bound by love, enduring the pain. But when I leave, it’s not to teach, It’s the lesson learned, a painful reach. I see the truth: they’ll never see, The value in all that’s poured from me. I won’t adjust my heart’s demands, To fit their cold, ungrateful hands. I choose instead to face their absence, Than bend and break for fleeting fragments. I’ve learned to love from far...

Whisper in the Wind

It’s strange how you linger in my mind, A fleeting moment, etched, refined. The echo of your voice, a gentle song, Each pause stretching, lasting long. Conversations, though fleeting, remain, Wrapped in warmth, a soothing refrain. I yearn to reach out, but silence constrains— Would my voice be welcome, or met with disdain? Should I reach out, or let quiet abide? I wrestle with doubts that won’t subside. To ask, “Are you well? How was your day? Did you eat? Are you okay?” Anxiety whispers its familiar refrain: “You’re not in his world, your care is in vain.” Is he distracted, lost in a scroll? Or does the distance weigh on his soul? A storm of questions, a mind left ajar, Am I too much? Have I drifted too far? The overthinking hums its old tune, A dance with shadows, a thought-bound cocoon. I’d like to believe that timing’s astray, Reserving “what if” for another day. But each day for you is a mountain steep, A struggle with burdens, in silence you keep. I ...
