By Poem by Josephine Chifundo Likoya

By the look of things, you want him close
You miss him many times
You wish to talk to him all the time
You want his attention so badly
By the look on your face
You are pretty much in love
You are always telling your friends
You always smile by just looking at the picture
By the look in his eyes, he is happy
He always laughs and cares for you
With so many friends around him, he is always busy
Visiting one place after another
He looks at his phone, reads a text and ignores
He receives a call and ignores
He then quickly writes 'I'm busy babe, call you later'
By the way he talks, he is so sweet and gives hope
You stay awake, waiting for the call that never comes
In the morning, you feel so hurt
Making excuses for him, trying to make things work
He has nothing to explain
He promises to meet you
You wait all day longing to have him around
You try to find out what is holding him
'Oh babe, I'm caught up with friends. I will be there soon'
Soon becomes later and later never comes
By the way things are, he only misses you when you ask him to
He only loves you when you ask him to
You feel so devastated
By the way he talks, here he comes again
Promising to make it up and all starts over
