Please, listen..

My heart yearns for your touch, but you never touch me the way I want.  

I desire to hear your heartbeat, only to find it beats slowly when you’re with me.  

Feigning to hear your voice, but you’re speaking to someone who’s not me.  

I feel the knots begin to form in my chest, you’re struggling to untie them.  

My breath gets caught in my throat, you’re oblivious to it.  

My hands reach for yours, only to be millions of miles away.  

Eyes searching for yours frantically, only for yours to look into someone else's.  

I’d walk to you; you’d drive.  

Can you hear me?

Listen.
