As usual,
You are two hours late.

(I hope you haven't forgotten.)

And as usual,
I compose reasons for you

As if those would heal.
As if we can stay.

I haven’t heard
From you for a long time.
(I hope you haven't forgotten.)

Did you take care
Of my bonsai?
Did you keep
The withered roses
By the medicine cabinet?
Did you throw away
The tea bags I hid
Under the sink?

But okay,
Let’s get back
To fray.

Say…

Have you also forgotten
To love me today?

@eden: hehe kawawa naman, the male pa is the one who doesn't love the other dito. actually pwede rin naman babae. hehehe :) and yeah, i like the way you theorized...i understood where you're coming from kasi. the bonsai, the withered roses and the tea bags speak of the quirks/habits of the one who left the house.

it also paints an intimate relationship. and pain. "have you forgotten to love me today?" ansakit diba?
