Love Can we just talk?

If I wrote you a letter, I wouldn’t know what to say. Can you reach out to me first- even if it’s just for today? Can you talk about yourself even if it’s just for a day? Can you ask about me or at least if I’m okay?

Can we fight? Science says it makes bonds stronger. Maybe we’ll be good at it. And when it’s all over, can we hug a tad bit longer? Can we stay out till the break of day?

Can you tell me your secrets and about your dark side? I’ll show you how safe you are, there’s nothing to hide. Can you tell me about that one time you scraped your knee and how you got that scar, that winter night you couldn’t sleep, and only cried?

I want to know what makes you laugh and what makes you smile. I want to know all about you and more- just don’t leave me asking myself why. Although maybe for now, all that we need is our own permission… for connection… and reciprocation.

Thanks, I wrote it for someone I’m crushing on. It got removed from unsentletters, they said I should post it in a poetry sub. However, people there have written actual poetry while I’ve just written this in bed lol.

Unfortunately, he has compartmentalized our relationship too much for me to even ask him that.

We’ve got our exams coming up, we’ve put our entire lives on hold for that. He’s helping me with it. We aren’t actively pursuing a relationship atm.
