Small Wonder
Babe, you do not like
to be called that, but at once
do as well, by me.
Reluctantly you
let me, and so you condone
my wide-eyed fancy.
I know you're busy.
I saw that picture you posted.
Your friends I've not met.
I am not holding
my breath, either. You seemed to
quite enjoy
their company. You seemed,
happy. And that was "wow", for
me. It was enough.
Maybe, asking for
more would have been unfair, too,
of me. Hm, I guess.
Nevertheless, I
would hope, to meet them someday.
Finally see, who
You let in. Who you
would spend your time with. Who kept
you fascinated,
and joyous, as I
would like to see you be. Well,
got carried away.
Sorry. So, in that
picture, seems like your friends,
are leaving? College?
It's a far-away
city. You lazy lightning, I
hope that you make the
effort! To visit
them. More than longing for such
of your longing, what
Saddens me more, is
the thought of you being lonely.
After all this time,
In addition to
having learned to love you, I
have also learned, a
thing or two about
you! Haha, believe it or
not. And, you know, the
funny thing is, as
if knowing all that was not
certainty enough,
it was my being
less bothered by the lack of
your attention that
made me go, "Man, it
has to be love, or something
just as lovely."

Nothing like that, she's just a busy bee, and not very expressive. Pretty much a part of the dynamic. Takes work sometimes, but would not have it any other way.
