Are you gonna call me back?

Waiting…

By Juwann CookPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

The smell of your shirt wraps around me

And I hold it near my heart

That’s the closest I’ve been to you

Since we’ve been apart

It seems like time is just passing by

And I am waiting by my cellphone

I haven’t eaten or slept in days

My heart has turned into stone

I want to reach out to you

But I can never send the message

I know I haven’t done wrong to you

I was hoping you would confess it

You’re probably in love already

Making wedding plans for all that I know

I was just some one you wanted to date

Not someone that you wanted for long

About the Creator

Juwann Cook

I feel like poetry are the things that we want to say but society will look at us weird for the feelings that we have about something or someone, to make it easier for ourselves and others we just put it in writing.
