Partitions

During the absent days,
although you were near
but at the same time
in some other place,

love may have been there
but I had to guess
most of the time,

and I was terrible at it

It’s tough to sit with this in a relationship. Sometimes the communication isn’t there. Sometimes it’s not for lack of trying, just other circumstances. It’s very sad but very devotional. I like that.

felt this one! There was this girl... and anyway, she didn't know I existed, let alone have a glance at me.
I like the title, it fits, "Partitioned" off from the same plane as you. The theme is good and one that could be visited from either side. It begins and ends well. ~ Geez.
