RELATIONSHIP Poem by Kolawole Richard

our absence took away my loneliness for it fell for you:

Your laughter filled the air, your voice carried the wind
Your jokes were never dry, and your quirkiness? Cherry-filled
Your presence like a heavy hammer always broke through my shell
Looking into your eyes was painful yet enduring—stars really are bright

Time was so slow when with you—then I realized, it couldn’t resist your beauty too
Whenever you were around, we enjoyed your company—loneliness and I
My heart would rip and bleed at every “goodbye” or “see you later”
But I never asked you not to leave—all because I always hoped you wanted to stay too
