Member-only story
You pass by everyday
Without saying “hi”
Not even a glance
I–staring, but shy
Sitting in the same spot
Is left to wonder why
Why do I sit still and wait?
Why is tomorrow considered too late?
Why do I not wave instead?
Why is the man in the moon dead?
Why is the ocean fearless and deep?
Why then is the mind fearful, but deeper?
You pass by with confidence
And painstaking assuredness
I sit and ponder in confusion
And absurd illusion
This time, un-shy
And I’m still wondering why
Why do I sit still and wait?
Why can’t you wave first?
Why can’t love be brave?
Why must I behave?
Why can’t I quench my thirst?
Why must I accept fate?
You pass by and pass me by
I kept quiet and keep you away
Intended? Unintended? You tell me
I and you
I mean–you and me?
What could have been?
Thanks for your readership, always.
