Closer

March 18th, 2025 

I never thought we’d get close enough
But I learned the changes of your tone
From joking around in a group of people
To the disheartened frustration you’ve shown
The care when speaking to your sick dog
That I’d hear sometimes as you’d let me go
Distinguishable differences in your voice
That you let me close enough to know

I’m more likely to write out my feelings
Than tell you to your face
Because I’ve tried that before
And people leave without a trace

Personal Note: Hey stranger, I got your contact the author forms on here. Everything I’ve been posting was written earlier this year. Even if it wasn’t, I sometimes reflect on the past in my writing. Poetry is how I think, so none of this is me reacting out of character. I have almost 500 other poems posted on here that can confirm this is just how I process what I’m feeling. Some things are embellished because it’s art, it doesn’t have to be factual. But I appreciate the apology. There will be more poems, but I think it’s best if you stop reading. You don’t need to feel guilty, I’ve moved on. I’m very happy with my boyfriend, and I’m happy for you that you found your other half. Take care!

I Love You

I like our phone conversations
Very few
But very long
I like hearing your voice
When I’m half asleep
Making me wish you were here
Like in the days
And early nights
Wrapping your arms around me
Holding me tight
You make things feel right
With your lips on mine
Or my cheek
My neck
You changed my life
I was a wreck
I thank you for that
Though you might not know
You make me happy
I hope it shows
You don’t leave my mind
Filled in thoughts
I wonder about you
Quite a lot
Some things unclear
I wanted to know how you feel
And when you said it
I couldn’t believe it was real
You love me too much
I didn’t know what to say
My mind lost in thoughts
So carried away
I haven’t forgot
These words in my head
You’re still on my mind
With these words left unsaid
They should speak for themself
But if you don’t know
I love you
Please don’t let me go
