Communicate With Your Mate
Every day I raise
hoping to see your eyes.
Hoping just once more,
you will finally realize.
I didn’t want you to leave.
I didn’t want you to
think I tried to deceive.
All I’ve done since is cry.
I want to see your eyes.
We had been so close.
Much closer than most.
I thought that you would see
when I took that trip to the coast,
I wasn’t with someone else.
it was only business that day.
If I only knew how you felt.
I would have held you so close.
It was business, not for boast.
I should have let you know.
Why I was going to go.
Why I didn’t ask you to go too.
It was something I had to do.
I wasn’t thinking at all.
I should have never made that call.
It was something not involving us.
Yet, I made it hard for you to trust.
Every day I raise
hoping to see your eyes.
Hoping just once more,
you will finally realize.
I didn’t want you to leave.
I didn’t want you to
think I tried to deceive.
All I’ve done since is cry.
I want to see your eyes.————————-R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
