the words left unspoken
are sometimes
thoughts left unsaid
but lives rent free in our minds.

I grew up independently
maybe it was a perk of being a second child
or it was just that they see a potential in me
that I deserve to do things on my own

maybe that was the reason why
I became a writer
a poet, a speaker, an advisor
a friend someone could talk to

the words I tell them
are the words I always long to hear
that how I wish
someone out there
will say the same to me

but I met someone
we were both talkative
when we get together,
our time is always limited
I always feel sad when it is time to go home
because of all the people I met,
he never judged my past
or laugh at my scars
or bullied me for my cracks

instead, he consoled me
accepted me and made me whole
I realized that he is my twin
my soulmate,
he was made just for me.

he understands me.
instead, he helped me grow
he is my walking dictionary
out of all the hundred men in the word,
who always reasons out
he is the only one, who acted out.

Ti amo, mio marito!
