Crossed My Mind

Maybe he did not know that I felt some kind of way about 
What he did not say

But then again he and I had been friends
He had to know how the absence of truth
Could slay a relationship that was built on words

Silence turned my verbal glee into withdrawal
It was the proof 
That what we had was no more and my disappointment boiled

I listened to his-story and he listened to her-story
Year after year we were seldom in a hurry
But it’s alright

He’s asleep now
My Dearest one
Good night

Listening is hard to do . . . so much noise to distract us . . . but what a gift when we take the time to actively listen. Great poem. thank-you for sharing.

Thank you for reading my poem David, and listening is hard to do when one is truly listening.
