It's said that it is the thought that matters, that if you love someone that is what is important. But I feel that expressing your care and affection is equally important in any sort of relationship. More often that not, it is what keeps the relationship from falling apart. This is what I have tried to express through this poem of mine.

My days and nights are spent in thoughts

In vivid dreams of you

The more I try to abstain

The more they seem so true

When my mind's in turmoil and all

I need

Is to know that you're still there

I wonder if you ever think of me

If you even care

What we share is unknown, unnamed

Sustained by hopes and fears

When all I want is to hear from you

Why am I left in tears?

I know you care, you always have

But my heart just won't believe

It fears just like the others left

You might just also leave

I know you're there, I know you care

You might just never go

That you're there for me and you'll always be

Just let my heart too know....
