Do you even see
Your love?
Do you even see
Someone you want?
Or even someone
You want to get to
Know better?
We don’t kiss
Like we used to.
There’s no flirting anymore.
Before,
We couldn’t keep our hands
Off each other.
Now,
It’s almost like we
Have to make
Conscious attempts
To remember
To put our hands
On each other.
Only when we can,
Our schedules are full.
Laundry
And work.
Dishes
And repairs.
Errands to run.
Could we just,
Maybe,
Try to schedule…
Some passion?
No…
If it has
To be scheduled,
I’d rather not.
What do you see
When you look at me?
When I look at you,
I miss
Us.
