Your eyes,your smile,your voice.
They're all I notice of you.
But I don't know who you are.
The past you,I know of.
The past you,I dream about.
The past you,I can say I like.
The present you,I don't know.
The present you,I have not spoken with.
The present you,I can only watch and guess.
Guess what you like.
Guess what you are like.
Talking to you,what is it like...
I look at you from the balcony.
I see you from time to time.
I wonder if you can see me...
What would it take for me to stop?
Stop liking you
or at least who I think you are...
Not talking to you makes me imagine
who you are...
I know you don't remember me...
At least I think you don't...
You said half my name and spoke.
Oh the sentence you said was quite
unusual and I replied with uncertainty.
Do you remember me
or did you just see my name on my back?
You ignoring me,is what I lack.
Another-you said my name.
Again and again,you said my name.
I replied with your name.
I saw the smile in your eyes
or maybe I was just imagining it.
I ran to not show my reddening face.
I sat down and saw you walk pass by.
I wondered why you decided to walk.
I shook my head with a sigh.
The time I had courage to talk to you...
To message you...
You said you didn't know me...
You don't remember me.
I hoped you would try to guess
and keep talking to me...
But when I reply,you left me on read.

Heyyy
Just realized, I think I can make a separate "book" someday with the theme of longing or dream or smth. I see quite a few of my poems have that common thing... so if I ever end up wanting to separate/categorize my poems,I have somewhere to start..
Anyways... It's been over a year since I wrote this poem and I don't want to add any more than what I already felt while writing this. I did change some words to better convey what I felt then.
I'm a bit unsure of the title but it's okay I guess... And yes,what? 2 poems in 1 day? Yes, but I won't be publishing a lot again unless I decide to write a new poem again and/or look at my already written but not published poens😅😅.
Anywho...
Hope you have a blessed day/afternoon/evening!!

Poems
PoëzieFull of poems that I've written, am writing, will write. Maybe mostly about life and others are deep stuff and more... Some are happy and some are sad/dark. Some poem(s) I wrote about or related to a book/movie.etc. Others I wrote as a story in poem...
