Buses 16, 38 or 133

The thing I do to be nearer to him, Commuting even in weather so grim. The things I do to have more acceptance, Cleaning his home for a much better chance. The bus I go northbound in drives down memory lane, As I reminisce about what he and I once were, in silent pain. The bus I go eastbound with shows me where he's recently been, As I daydream of a future wish I deeply hold within. The commute may not always feel worth it, But I want to show him I love him every bit. The way home always fills me with sorrow, But I always know there is another tomorrow. The things I do for him, despite coming and going, It is because it is him whom I will never stop loving. The things I go through for him doesn't make him obligated, But the least I hope for is my love is one day reciprocated.

Congrats on POTD. And I'm with you: He should at least reciprocate. Let him take three buses! :) gw

I enjoyed this poem. It is romantic, and do I sense shades of Scarlett O'Hara in the remorseful longing? Tomorrow is another day. Congratulations on POTD.

They do say buses come in threes, but I'm not sure if love comes that way too. Great POTD.
