“Absence makes the heart
grow fonder,
But too much absence makes the heart feel unwanted.”

1. LIKE ALWAYS

You woke up yesterday,
feeling so happy.
You did all your chores,
All the while humming
your favourite tune.

He promised he'd come,
And you could watch
that movie together.
But then he called
and said he won't.
You told him it's okay,
He might have come
across something important.
Like always.

Finally, he came.
You were dozing off on the couch,
it was so late at night.
He went to sleep,
And you didn't say a thing.
You knew he was tired
And that movie,
you could always watch tomorrow.

He woke up the next morning,
Came to the breakfast table
and didn't say a thing.
You watched him closely,
Knowing what he was not saying.
You nodded and got up
to do your chores of the day.
He left
And it was Sunday
Like always.

You finally watched that movie,
Of a young superhero
and his tragedy.
It was a good movie.
The pillow you hug every night
would agree,
Successfully filling the silence
Of nobodies and nothings.
